Photosmart C4680

Since I did upgrade to OS Big Sur 11.5.1. and probably even at last upgrade the printer and scanner have stopped working and I can't find any way to access the software  - I have searched all over the HP site and internet.  Any ideas please?  Or am I literally going to have to chuck a perfectly good printer away?

@VicenteSG, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

This printer is not AirPrint compatible and has no printer driver available on the HP Support site to work on macOS 11 due to its age.

This printer does not support the HP Smart app too on a Mac.

For more info on this issue, refer to this document. 

However, Gutenprint (formerly called Gimp-Print) provides open-source basic print drivers for many printers that would otherwise not be supported in Mac OS X. To see if your printer is supported, go to Gutenprint drivers for more information.

NOTE: Gutenprint drivers are not supported by HP or Apple.
