How to trick HP printer drivers installer in MacOS Monterey
Hey there,
for my HP Printer (M128 MFP series) I used this driver package from the Apple support site:
This worked well under MacOS 11 / Big Sur, enabling the scanning functionality of my printer.
Here is my problem:
I did a fresh / clean install of MacOS 12 / Monterey on my M1 MBA.
Unfortunately, now the HP drivers package refuses to install:
Is there any way to override the "official" MacOS version number it is reporting to apps?
searched around a little to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Medon

You might want to look for newer drivers on HP's site. This HP support page says that Apple no longer provides print drivers through Apple Software Update (not sure about drivers on Apple Support Web pages), and has a link to HP's driver site.

The latest macOS driver at the HP site, for your printer, is for Mojave. I don't know if it will install or work on Monterey – maybe it will.

Thanks for the hint.
I tried the HP drivers from their site, but the installer hangs.
That's why I was glad to use the Apple drivers set, which would probably work under Monterey as well, but fails to install now with version 12.0.1.

You could erase and start over, and this tiime NOT do a clean install, and instead migrate. Although some refer to even that as a "clean install" vs manually copying and downloading and reinstalling apps.
Or try this hack, which is for some HP printers anyway, and seems to be perhaps the workaround that might get them installed: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/monterrey-and-hp-printers.2319676/

Hi Medon!
I had the same issue before, and a colleague told me to try this site for software and drivers, where I luckily found one for my HP printer too. Give it a try if you can find one that will work for your HP printer.

1. Download and install Pacifist: https://www.charlessoft.com/
2. Download HP Drivers pack: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1888 = will take a while...
3. Mount (double click) the downloaded dmg file.
4. Open Pacifist...(free to use but you need to wait 15 sec if you do not pay for the software).
5. Choose "Open Package" and navigate in Finder to "HP_PrinterSupportManual" and open the file "HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg"
6. Highlight (= click once) the row "HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers Contents".
7. At the top of that window choose Install.
8. And the rest should be as easy to follow!
9, Finally add the printer with the normal procedure.
