Good day ,

I can not find the driver on the HP support 

Could you assist me

Drivers for Server 2012 are not available for your printer model:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-pro-m1213nf-m1219nf-multifunction-print...

Work arounds include:

- Try a Universal Print Driver from HP

- Try the driver of a similar printer model that is supported on the OS

- Try a generic driver like the Laserjet 4000 for very basic printer support

- Try the generic Microsoft Plug and Play drivers

You may not be able to leverage all the features of the printer without driver support, but you should be able to find a driver that can provide basic functionality with a little digging.  There is no shortcut here, try out drivers until you find one that works.

Hi,

UPD or any other driver won't work., as this is an Host-Based printer, it cannot use any other generic or universal driver due to limitations of such a lower-end printing system.

Try extracting and manually adding the driver below, by following the Add Printer wizard of the server:

Generally, I'm not sure it will work at all, but this would be my best offer to try.
