HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

Hoi, HP C5180 not connected to the internet with new windows 11 PC. Is there a driver for USB connection directly between printer and laptop?

All drivers search for my printer on the internet like HP Smart and I don't want to connect the printer to the internet

Regards, Plien

If you connect the printer with a USB cable between the printer and a USB  port on the Windows 11 PC, Windows will provide a driver.  See the document at the link below for USB setup.

You could also use the direct print feature of the  printer  by setting it up directly from the printer's control panel to print wirelessly from the notebook. See the document at link below for direct print setup. There will be a direct print wifi connection available that only goes to the printer, all you have to do is enable it and connect to it when you want to print.

Both options are available.

Thank you very much for your support. I already tried the first solution but no result. I will try it again.

I read on a site consumentenbond.nl that my printer and windows 11 are not compatible. 

The second solution is not possibel because the option wireless is not on the display of the HP Photosmart C5180.
