Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw - Windows 11 driver

[siradlib]

Hi there,

just in case anyone is looking for a driver for a Color LaserJet MFP M277dw running on Windows 11:

The M277dw isn´t officially supported on Windows 11 (which I think is crazy, because this device is sturdy and lasts for many years now).
After doing some research, I tried the driver for HP Color LaserJet Pro M282-M285 and so far, it´s working perfectly:

That´s what I did:

1. setup and connect your M277dw to ethernet correctly (check if you can open the printer´s webpage with a browser)

2. install the driver for HP Color LaserJet Pro M282-M285 from HP

3. add the printer: settings - printer and scanner - add device

4. for the scanner, install HP Scan Extended utility like recommended in this thread 

Hope this helps someone!
