LaserJet P1006, driver for Windows 11

[bsilk555]

I just purchased the HP Envy x360 and was all excited about it until I found out it won't support my printer, which is the HP LaserJet P1006. I think it is disgraceful that HP is not providing a driver for this printer in Windows 11, especially since I have shown my support for HP buy purchasing their brand of laptop.

I feel disgusted by this, and hope HP will reconsider its policy. How hard can it be to crank out a driver to support an HP printer on an HP laptop?

OK, folks, I stand humbled before you, having discovered that the HP laptop comes installed with its own program called HP Print and Scan Doctor; all I had to do was activate that program and VOILA it detected my old printer and set the whole thing up with the correct drivers, and it is now working on Windows 11.  I am so pleased, and somewhat embarrassed that I first ranted and raved on here. But I do think HP should offer the new driver for Windows 11 to those who have purchased other brands of laptops as well--that would be awesome.

Thank you.

The download for this

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-laserjet-p1006-printer/3435682/swItemI...

is in a foreign language, and does not do anything like what the video explains.

After several reboots and cleaning of the queue, I was able to get this to work.  Much appreciated.  It is scary installing and not knowing what language you are looking at.
