LaserJet MFP29w
Microsoft Windows 11

I am unable to install the LaserJet MFP29w at my parents.  "HP-LaserJet-Pro-MFP-M29w-Easy-Start-Printer-Setup-Software-for-windows-10-and-11.exe" fails, a message about 'hpypclms26_V4.inf', ultimately driver unavailable when trying to add the printer.   Could there be a missing required driver ?  The  contents of the setupapi.dev.log are below.  Any ideas?
