Hi @Loopylyn,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be glad to help you! 

 

It can feel tricky when trying to install a printer driver, but I’ll guide you through it step by step to ensure your HP 2600 All-in-One printer works with your Windows 11 laptop.

 

Check for Compatibility

  • Confirm that your HP 2600 All-in-One printer is compatible with Windows 11. The HP website usually lists supported operating systems.

Download the Latest Driver

  • Visit the HP Support page and search for your printer model (e.g., "HP 2600 All-in-One").
  • Download the latest Full Feature Software and Driver for Windows 11.

Run the Installation File

  • Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation.
  • During setup, you will be prompted to choose a connection method (USB or Wi-Fi).

Connect Your Printer

  • For USB: Connect the printer to your laptop using a USB cable when prompted.
  • For Wi-Fi: Ensure the printer and laptop are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You may need to use the printer's control panel to connect it to your Wi-Fi first.

Set the Printer as Default

  • Once installed, go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners and ensure your HP 2600 is set as the default printer.

Print a Test Page

  • Open the printer settings and print a test page to verify the setup.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance
