Unfortunately, that too did not work. This is what occurred:

Hi @MikeL53,
Ok, looks like something is not working on your Windows 11 Home, maybe this computer needs to be restored to install a fresh Windows system.
Do you know if this Windows version is in Secure mode - Windows 11 S-mode ?

Meanwhile you could try to install driver with HP Print Doctor:

Hi @ferRX , My OS is just Windows 11 Home, not in S mode. I downloaded and installed the HP Smart Universal Printing (V3) (v4.01.2) driver. It shows as a printer available to use im MS Office-Word and Excel, and also when I go to print out an email. The HP Smardt Universal printing was made the default printer. However, it does not print from any of these apps. I checked that the USB port was the one that was checked in the properties for the HP Smart Universal Driver. I might try using the standard TCP/IP port instead.
If you keep on coming up with possible fixes, I will try them. The warranty on the HP Deskjet 4158e is running out by the end of November. I hope I won't have to exercise that solution. I am still hoping HP and Microsoft can figure out a solution. The customers should not have to.

I am not sure exactly what I did. but this past weekend, the HP 4158e multi function printer was finally able to print, from both the Smart Print App and other program (ie. Outlook, MS Word). I had downloaded Easy Start (https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/DJ4100/HPEasyStart-13.6.5-DJ4100_51_4_4868_1_Webp...) and had as usual deleted unsuccessful Printer addition, as well as the printer listed from the Device Manager. I reran the Easy Start, and after a very long time, it seemed to download the proper driver. I went back to "printers and Scanner", found the HP 4100 series printer, and made sure it had this driver for HP Smart Printing ,and made sure the printer port was a HP Smart Printing port. I made sure it was the default printer.
This was done after I had "reset this PC" , re-installing windows, while keeping personal files. Perhaps that helped. I don't know. At least I can now both print and scan from the HP Deskjet 4158e Multi-function printer that is next to my Desktop computer, while still able to print from a Windows 10 Laptop, and an Android phone. I want to thank especially @ferRX for sticking with me for a long time, and giving many helpful suggestions.
