Welcome to the HP Community --

 

As of Windows 11, there is no longer a full driver software listed for this printer.

 

Instead you are instructed to install and use the Windows Built-in Print Driver.

 

Windows print drivers provide basic print function.

 

Learn more here:

Old driver is Gone

 

We see occasional questions about printers for which full driver software installation packages are no longer listed for current (or older) versions of Windows.

 

The full driver printer software for this printer is no longer listed as available from HP.

 

When available for the printer and a supported version of Windows, install the Windows Built-in print drivers.

 

When installed, the Windows print driver provides basic print function.

 

Reference and Download

 HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver

Scan? See Section FAQ > How do I use the printer functions with the built-in driver?

 

Scan your documents and photos:

Complete your scan jobs with a Windows app that works with the built-in driver.

 

Examples

 

Windows Fax and Scan: In Windows, search for and open Windows Fax and Scan. Click New Scan, and then select your printer.

Windows Paint: In Windows, search for and open Paint. Click FileFrom scanner or camera.

Windows Scan app: In Windows, search for and open the Windows Scan app. If it is not listed, go to Windows  Scan (in English) to install it.

 

Troubleshooting for installing the Built-in Print Driver

 HP printers - Windows built-in driver fails to install

 

==================================================

What else?

 

If you can find and use a Windows 10 system...

There is still a Full Feature Software driver package for Windows 10.

 

The Windows 10 software package is not intended to be installed on Windows 11.

 

Printer - Full Feature Software

 

HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver generally adds at one, possibly least one, possibly two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and/or HP Scan.

 

NOTES:  

 

HP Scan is not installed if the printer does not support Scan.

 

The Printer Assistant is not installed if the type of full driver software does not support it.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver. No Sign-in required.

If / When asked, opt for the Full Driver / Full Software to be installed.

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in.

 Note Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.
