hp officejet pro 8600 driver mac big sur

Here is my problem: I did a fresh / clean install of MacOS 12 / Monterey on my M1 MBA. It cost me a contract no being able to scan and send my passport - Neither apple nor HP are interested in environment or customer costs - just profit - perfectly good printer going in the bin. 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. Shame on HP and Apple - no prior warning at all - and no awareness in customer services - had to work it out from scratch. Didn't fancy seeing my OS gradually becoming obsolete - So I bit the bullet and ordered a printer even though nothing wrong with existing one. ? either a new printer or go back to previous OS - sorry to let you know.

My HP is from 2014 and the drivers only go up to OS 10.x not 11. 'Spent half an hour with an apple tech trying to fix this - basically HP ain't updating older printer drivers for Big Sur - and there is no transfer of existing drivers to Big Sur. This was one response from someone else : I have also posted this in the Apple Community.
