'from an unknown source' might work - though usually, that's macOS or its affiliates being over-zealous and "warning" the poor User about something that matters not at all. 'this file was downloaded on… an unknown date' is not a detail Apple or HP would be interested in, even if it was their wording. If it were genuine, that would at best be Windows-style wording… doubly interesting since malware-merchants tend to wean themselves on Windows. ' "HP Scanner 3" will damage your computer…' is not wording Apple or HP use. If you have support contracts call Apple and HP and ask them to ignore the general meaning and explain the specific wording.įailing that, here in the UK you might take the same Question somewhere like Stormfront… next-best thing to an Apple Store but with reasonable prices. The meaning is exactly as speculated but the wording did not come from either Apple or HP I've been providing tech support to both Apple and HP users since before there were Macs, let alone macOS, and I've never seen or heard of that wording.

The vast majority of HP apps for macOS (which are slightly different than the driver stubs needed for printing) were signed by now revoked certificates. Things are working technically how they should, but from a support and culture perspective, I am certain thousands (perhaps millions) of people are realizing “suddenly” that this is built into their OS.
The OS does check for revocations online so yes it blocks apps even if you don’t update the apps or the OS.įor HP printers and scanners, the problem is the revocation of the certificates HP used to sign their software, not that macOS checks for revoked certificates. If it doesnt work with those directions, you just need a firmware update (or you did it wrong -) ) Firmware.

To do scan via a Windows 10 share, follow this. This message happens when the certificate used to sign software gets revoked. A 6515 is just a lower end VersaLink product, basically less memory, and therefore no EIP stuff.
