Product: HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

HP Smart cannot find my MFP on Windows 11.  It shows up as "USB Composite Device" that cannot start.  Turned MFP off and on... unplugged and replugged USB cable... still not detected by HP Smart.  Please advise.  Many thanks!

M1212nf is too old printer model to be supported in HP Smart.

Try to install full software/driver package from:

Thanks Valsimot.  That didn't work.  Also, installing as a legacy printer didn't work.  Basically, Windows 11 is causing a perfectly good HP MFP to be bricked.  Sad.
