Hello. I have an HP Deskjet F2100 All in One Printer. I can see the printer in Bluetooth & devices > Printers & Scanners, but it states no drivers are available. Not only that, but I try to get Windows to update drivers, but that failed. So I look online on the HP Website and there doesn't appear to be any present for the device. The only device which could communicate with the printer was a 2018 HP Chromebook14inch Laptop, which has recently become corrupted. It's in an endless boot loop with an attempt to update on screen flashing error. All attempts to get working has failed. So now, not only am I without a working Chromebook, I am without a working printer. The Chromebook is trashed. But the printer isn't. I would like to continue using the printer on my alternative Windows 11 laptop. Can anybody help me?

I think you have two problems here.  Your Chromebook needs to have a factory restore from the HP cloud. Post that as a different problem  in the laptop support community.

 

HP printers use Bluetooth only for configuration purposes you cannot print with Bluetooth.

 

your printer drivers are below but read the warning first.

 


WARNING: THE ARCHIVE SITE BELOW IS NOT HP AND PROBABLY HAS UNWANTED SOFTWARE THAT WILL DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL

Do not download any "driver downloader" or "updater". Please examine the buttons to ensure they download the actual driver and not a driver helper. Do not click on any advertisements or any page that has the word "AD"


Close any popup that has "AD" in it. Download only official HP files. They will start with the two letters SP and have the form
SP153214.exe -or-
SP96885.exe etc.
