Hi @Mans,
Same issue with HP LaserJet Pro MFP M148dw again under Win 11. I've done all the steps you recommended, reinstalled the full drive pack from HP.com, but it is still showing “Printer status: Idle – driver unavailable”. On the other hand, the scanner feature is working perfectly. Any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
