Laser jet M451dn and Windows 11 problems

[grndmary]

New computer - Windows 11.  Can print on plain paper fine, but if I print on heavy paper, the toner will not completely fuse to the paper, resulting in a mess.  Software/Driver issue more than likely.  Any solutions? Trying to print on heat transfer paper (151g/m)  .

Are you changing the paper type setting to heavy paper? Doing so slows down the printer and also applies more heat to ensure proper bonding. You need to set the paper type on the printer itself and on the computer when sending the print job. Just make sure that you use the same type in both areas or you will get prompted to load paper.

I just got a new computer with Windows 11 and can't get driver for my Laser Jet M451dn printer so the printer will work.  HP tells me that it is a no longer supported printer, but you apparently got it to work other than problems with heavy paper.  How did you get drivers so it would work?

Are you using network or usb.

[Ed331]

I'm using usb.  According to HP, the dn does not allow network connection.

The  n in the model name means network.

Thanks but this doesn't answer my question.  I'm looking for a driver that will allow my printer to work with Windows 11.

Pulled out my Win 11 laptop to check and confirm. I am printing to my wife's 451DN via TCP/IP port using the Microsoft class driver, which is a built in driver in Windows. Test page below.
