Hi @Gabomont ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand your HP LaserJet 1100 printer isn't showing up in the list after you've downloaded and run the drivers, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Check Connection: Ensure that your printer is properly connected to your computer via USB or network connection and that it's powered on.
2. Restart Printer: Sometimes, a simple restart of the printer can resolve connection issues. Turn off the printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
3. Restart Computer: Similarly, restarting your computer can sometimes help refresh the connection between the computer and the printer.
4. Check Compatibility: Make sure that the drivers you downloaded are compatible with your operating system. Sometimes, downloading and installing the wrong drivers can cause issues.
5. Manually Add Printer: If the printer still doesn't appear in the list, you can try manually adding it:

• Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers (Windows) or System Preferences > Printers & Scanners (Mac).
• Click on "Add a printer" or the "+" sign, depending on your operating system.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to add your printer manually. You may need to select the option to add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname if your printer is connected via a network.

       6. Update Drivers: Check for any updated drivers for your printer model on the HP website. Sometimes, newer drivers may provide better compatibility with your operating system.
