Is anyone experiencing problems with HP printers and scanners?

No longer able to print/scan using HP 4620 with fully updated MacBook Air.

HP Printer Won't Scan in Big Sur I have an HP Envy 7640. I updated my MacBook Pro to Big Sur about a month ago. I can print, but I just tried to scan something and am getting the message that it will damage my computer and won't work. I had this problem last fall after an iOS update before Big Sur, and I couldn't print or scan. When that happened an uninstall and reinstall of the printer worked. This time I updated the Firmware from HP as suggested, but no luck. I then uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it using HP's app HP Smart, and still no luck. I've read some suggestions on this forum, but nothing seems to be working and most only address printing, not scanning. Some are saying it's HP, and others are saying it's Apple. What is going on, and any suggestions as to how to scan in Big Sur without a 3rd party app?

Scan Tab doesn't show for HP 8600 All in One when opening Printer & Scanners In Mac Studio I have a Mac Studio running OS 12.5.1, when I open Printers & Scanners in System Preferences the scan tab doesn't show in the dialogue box, printer works. I also have a 2019 MacBook Pro also running OS 12.5.1, when I open Printers and Scanners in Stem Preferences both the Print and Scan tabs open and both work. Called Apple they said call HP. I think it's an M1 chip problem since the Intel based MacBook Pro is working fine. I hope Ventura fixes this. Anyone else have this problem???

Have installed HP Easy Start but still can't print. I'm getting a message saying the printer is waiting to become available. What do I need to do?
