Product: HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Is there an alternate driver to use with Windows 11 for the HP Photosmart C6280. I am using a Surface Pro 6. In Windows settings it says Driver is unavailable. 

The printer works fine with Windows 11 on my HP Envy

Hello @woody12122 .

@woody12122 .

Have you checked if you can use the built-in Windows driver?

Thank you for your help. I have spent quite a bit of time with Microsoft support who tried many different things and he concluded that HP would need to provide an alternate driver for use with Windows 11. I note on HP printer compatibility page (https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/ish_4839960-4840167-16?jumpid=in_r11839_au/en/WIN11_PrintLandi...) that the "HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-one" is not listed. Are you aware if there is an alternate driver I can use with Windows 11 on my Surface Pro 6?
