Hp LaserJet Pro M401dw Compatible with Windows 11?

[joanos]

Recently upgraded to Windows 11. My Hp LaserJet Pro 400 Printer M401dw will not print on both sides or print specific pages (i.e.1-3,5,7). This printer is not listed on the Windows 11 compatible list. Is there a workaround that would resolve these issues?
