Hi @LOTUSCO ,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
HP LaserJet 1080 is an older printer model, and it might not have specific drivers or software designed for Windows 11. However, you can try the following steps to install the printer on your Windows 11 system:
Windows Update:
- Connect your HP LaserJet 1080 to your computer and turn it on.
- Connect your computer to the internet.
- Go to "Settings" > "Windows Update" and check for updates.
- Windows Update might automatically detect and install the necessary drivers for your printer.
HP Website:
- Visit the official HP website's support section (https://support.hp.com/).
- Enter your printer model (LaserJet 1080) and navigate to the download section.
- Look for drivers and software compatible with Windows 11. If available, download and install them.
Compatibility Mode:
- If you have the installation software or drivers for Windows 10 or an earlier version, you can try installing them in compatibility mode.
- Right-click on the installer file, select "Properties," go to the "Compatibility" tab, and check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:".
- Choose the desired Windows version (e.g., Windows 10) from the dropdown menu.
Windows Built-in Drivers:
- Sometimes, Windows has built-in drivers for older printers. Connect the printer to your computer, turn it on, and let Windows attempt to install the necessary drivers automatically.
Alternative Drivers:
- You might also consider using a generic print driver that comes with Windows. During the printer installation process, choose a generic driver that matches your printer type.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
