  • Some Mac users being warned that Amazon Music app and HP drivers are malware [u]

    I stumbled upon this at work today. macOs 10.15.6 client when the user tried to print to an HP printer received two pop-ups. The first was about an HPPostProcessing.bundle and the second Fax.bundle both potentially being harmful to the computer. The print queue showed an error.

    I tried the following with no success:
    1. Restart
    2. Delete and re add the printer. The moment I attempted to re add the printer the messages popped up again.
    3. Reset printing system.
    4. Downloaded HP 5.1 printer package from Apple.

    So I decided to try using my HP Easy Admin tools. If you're a Mac admin I strongly recommend downloading this. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06164609
    It allows you to search for a printer model and then downloads and created a .pkg installation file for printer driver deployment. It's way better than the stupid HP Easy Start application.  Anyways after downloading this new set of drivers, I installed them and the messages stopped and printing worked.
