Hello all
On my wife’s MacBook she was affected by the who HP printing Malware snafu
and has ended-up having to use a generic postscript driver with our HP
P2055dn printer Mac OS 11. As a result she can't use the printer’s duplex
functions.
I’m also running Mac OS 11 but can print duplex using the driver that was
on my MacBook before the OS was upgraded. _That_ driver doesn’t install on
‘Big Sur’. So I thought I’d install it manually using Pacifist which
works but gets her back to the ‘Malware’ problem preventing her printing.
So she’s back to a generic postscript driver and no duplex...
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this?

Sadly the latest version of the software can’t be run because the pkg file
is incompatible with the OS.
That was why I tried bypassing that and using Pacifist to install the
components. That got me back to the ‘Malware’ problem. :-(

that's not going to fix a compatibility problem. find the correct
uninstaller.

a vocation, so I doubt anybody here consider automation to be "sorcery".
He pretends that he uses macOS, while really he never recorded it on the
fly and really played with it. Diesel: functionally illiterate fraud. Good
grief, just recently he was declaring himself the only "true Linux advocate",
and claiming that "advocates" (in scare-quotes to try to paint them as
the bad guys) are trying to make Linux become like the Mac. Is this for
real?
You won't go into a social event, knock back all the liquor, bang all
the children, take the bibles and lose your lunch in the face of your host
without being observed. How is GIMP on Linux doing anything above the lowest
common denominator?

time and time again. He claims it is a "forger" or a "hacker", but:
* The "forger" is psychic and knows when Kelly Phillips is going to start
and stop posting.
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger2>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger3>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger4>
This pattern repeats itself over and over... those are just some examples.
* Kelly Phillips twists and lies to say it is merely a sign of a "forger"
posting at about the same time. Why lie if he is not hiding something?
* Kelly Phillips has (at least apparently) done the same nonsense before
with socks: <http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/stevedward>.
* Kelly Phillips repeatedly blamed Snit for forging him but has also
admitted he lied and "doubts" it is him doing so.
* Kelly Phillips has used multiple accounts to accuse people of forging
him.
* Kelly Phillips clearly has been watching what IPs the "forger" is using
and listed them.
* Kelly Phillips pointed to <https://www.torproject.org> which makes
it trivial to use multiple IP addresses with their Tor Browser.
* Kelly Phillips lies about being able to use that software, claiming
he has "no idea how this can be done".
* Kelly Phillips himself pointed out that even his "normal" email address
has been posted through proxies, just like his "forger" has been doing,
but he says this is because Google or his ISP somehow forces this.
* Kelly Phillips claimed he thought using the Tor Browser would make
Google Groups look completely different. Absurd. Why tell such a lie if
he is not trying to obfuscate the issue?
It's the same thing that happens in every group Kelly Phillips invades.
Shadow just wiped the floor with Kelly Phillips. Contrary to Kelly Phillips's
claim that he has "no interest in making automated posts" (a lie as proved
by the fact that he slammed Shadow's site) he was quoted asking programmers
how they would automate posting through Google Groups.
It was Kelly Phillips who forged me and admitted to having done so.

Looks like the 2055dn is not a supported printer but it was worth a choice.

there are hardware and software airprint servers available for
non-airprint printers, however, that is the wrong solution.

women, steal the china, and toss your cookies in the foyer without being
disinvited. Usenet is a sovereign institution based on virtue that Doomsdrzej
aka Sliver Slimer lacks. In Doomsdrzej aka Sliver Slimer's case, I, and many,
many "trolls", had pointed to things Doomsdrzej aka Sliver Slimer said and
did, he denied them. What Doomsdrzej aka Sliver Slimer did not deny was people
actually posting what I noted, which is how he ended up with his list, as
anyone can see. Doomsdrzej aka Sliver Slimer showed himself to be a charlatan
by having the pretense to not speak to Troll Killer Snit by veraciously broadcasting
'Into the bin with you!' and then assailing him anyway using piggybacking.
And you _do_ realize that it isn't impossible for Doomsdrzej aka Sliver Slimer
to be doing this, or paying others to do so.
Despite my deep views about CentOS, I still continue to install it for users
who have had down time with OS X, especially if I have seen that they're

You have no idea at all what the OP's wife was doing with her laptop
BEFORE the certificate issue. There MAY be something found by
Malwarebytes if the OP runs it.
