Since the last Windows 11 update, my HP Probook does not recognize my HP Deskjet F4180 anymore. A few months ago I could install my printer via optional updates in the windows update settings as described here:

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Setup-Software-Drivers/HP-Deskjet-F4180-installation-on-Window...

 

Unfortunately, this option does not work anymore. I see a "Hewlet-Packard driver update for HP Deskjet F4100" under optional updates, however the download does not work and nothing happens.

 

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thank you for the driver that I could not find online anymore.

 

Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug with Hewlett-Packard driver update for HP Deskjet F4100 that should do the job via optional updates in Windows update for Windows 11. This optional update worked fine a few months ago, then something unfortunate must have happened.

 

Probably would make sense if somebody from HP can look into that.
