I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and the printer, which had been working perfectly for years with Windows 10, is now unusable with Windows 11.
After upgrading the OS, it only printed B&W, despite the printer's driver's configuration: I found that this is a recurring problem.
As of today, it's not even seen online by the OS and any attempt to reconnect it or re-install the driver failed.
Besides, the Scan Doctor utility is not even completing the diagnostics, the progress bar never reaches the end and it provides no clue as to what is wrong.
Interestingly, the printer works perfectly when used to print from my mobile phone via HP Smart. So the issue is clearly with the Windows 11 driver.
Edited
I restarted the configuration for the nth time from the Printer Setup tool of Windows as recommended by the HP Smart application. I added the printer's name instead of the IP address and set to "Auto Detect" the device type (IPP, TCP etc.)
The printer is now working. Hope this helps

Thank you Seaan
I had exactly same issue, so annoying
Must spent days on and off to resolve, not only a waist of paper, but used up my HP Printer Ink amount for this month.
It seems a lot people have this problem, from online search
Various answers, but people basically saying just uninstall, remove drivers and reinstall
Did that loads time
It should be this difficult, I’m sure many would just give up.
HP must know of the issue, and should put a firm fix, solution, easily available to see.
Rant over
Thanks again, glad I found this post.
Think I did slightly different, from options available, but basically same
For others if helps
