JINEXED!!! my reliable HP Photosmart C4272 PRINTER, is not RECOGNISED by my new HP Pavilion Laptop Model 15 – eho511sa/ OS Windows 11. HP support will not allow me to download the drivers. I am Northern and buying a new printer when mine is not broken is ridiculous. Please Please can anyone help.

I am sorry you are disappointed.
That the hardware still works is testament to the hardiness of the printer.
The full driver printer software was too old to update and it had security problems, too. HP removed the software.
The printer software is no longer available. The printer software was never available for Windows 11.
See if you can get Windows to install some Windows print drivers for your trusty printer.
Be Aware: Built-in drivers may not work - the Windows 11 is very different from Windows 10 -- and there is no listing for this option in Category Software and Drivers.
If it does work, the Windows drivers will provide for basic print function, no scan.
