photosmart printer stopped working

After the last upgrade to Catalina a couple of weeks ago, whenever I try to print, it flags several of the driver flags as malware and does not print.

Really? If it isn't Apple it isn't allowed?

Printer: HP PhotoSmart 7660 connected to an AirPort Express.

Laptop: MacBook Pro (15 inch, 2019), Catalina 10.15.7

Driver files called out:

“PDE.plugin” will damage your computer.

“commandtohp.filter” will damage your computer.

“Inkjet6.driver” will damage your computer.

There is no option to tell it to proceed.

How do I use my printer?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
