HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer and Windows 11

[Smoothfox]

I was given a HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer that is still in the box.  Reading the discussions here it is pretty apparent that it won't work with Windows 11 -- the OS that I have on my laptop.  So, what do I do with it?

Suggestions would be kindly appreciated.  The person who gave it to me has left town ....

Hi @Smoothfox,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Officejet 4500 Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

The printer is old and the operating system is new and that is what is causing the compatibility issue. I would suggest you try the Windows built-in drivers. Follow the steps below:

•    Go to Control Panel - Devices and printers - Click on "Add a printer" and follow the on-screen instructions.

•    When the page prompts for the drivers, select "Windows update". The driver list will be updated.

•    Click HP, Hewlett Packard, or Hewlett-Packard in the Manufacturer pane, and then click the name of your printer in the Printers pane.

Refer to this document HP printer setup (Windows built-in driver) for help

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
