Welcome to our HP Community forum!
Well, no need to trash your HP Color LaserJet CP2025 just yet -it can still work perfectly well with Windows 11!
Option 1: Use the HP Universal Print Driver (recommended):
HP's Universal Print Driver (UPD) supports the Color LaserJet CP2025 and works reliably on Windows 11.
Go to the official HP page: HP Universal Print Driver Series for Windows Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support.
Download the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 (v7.0.1 or later) – 64-bit version.
Run the installer and choose:
Dynamic Mode if you connect the printer occasionally or via network, or
Traditional Mode if you'll always use the same printer.
Follow the on-screen prompts to let the installer detect and add your printer automatically.
Option 2: Manually install via Windows built-in driver:
If Windows doesn't detect the printer automatically:
Connect the printer (USB or network).
Go to Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners → Add device → Add manually.
Select "The printer that I want isn’t listed" → Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings.
Use an existing port (e.g., USB001) → Next.
Under Manufacturer, choose HP, then select HP Color LaserJet CP2025.
If it’s not listed, click Windows Update to refresh the list (takes a few minutes).
Option 3: Use HP’s legacy driver package:
HP's last official CP2025 driver package (for Windows 10) also installs fine on Windows 11: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-color-laserjet-cp2025-printer-series/3673581.
After downloading, right-click the installer → Properties → Compatibility → select Windows 10 mode → Run as Administrator.
In Summary:
Your CP2025 is still fully usable -the HP Universal Print Driver is the best and most future-proof option for Windows 11.
Kind Regards,
