Hi @AnaumZA,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If the driver for your HP Photosmart C4100 printer is not automatically downloading on newer versions of Windows like Windows 11, you may need to manually install the driver. Here's how you can do it.

• Visit HP's Official Website: Go to the official HP website and navigate to the support section. Look for the drivers and downloads section.
• Search for Your Printer Model: Use the search function on the HP website to find the drivers for your specific printer model, in this case, the Photosmart C4100.
• Download the Driver: Once you've found the driver for your printer model, download it to your computer. Make sure you download the correct driver for your operating system (e.g., Windows 11).
• Install the Driver: Once the driver is downloaded, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver on your computer.
• Connect Your Printer: After the driver is installed, connect your HP Photosmart C4100 printer to your computer using a USB cable or through your local network if it's a network printer.
• Check Printer Status: Once connected, check the status of your printer in the Windows settings or Control Panel to ensure that it's recognized and ready to use.

By following these steps, you should be able to install the necessary driver for your HP Photosmart C4100 printer on your new laptops running newer versions of Windows like Windows 11.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
