Product: HP ENVY Photo 6230 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Yesterday I suddenly couldn't print and was getting a message that there was no driver.  I was printing without any problem the day before.  I have a series 6200 printer and an ASUS desktop computer running Windows 11.  I have tried using HP Smart without success.  Is there any simple way to install a driver?

Update!  I don't know how but having given up yesterday and struggling all this morning to get my word presentation handout to print using an old laptop (which doesn't have word) , all of a sudden this afternoon the driver was back and the printer working from the ASUS desktop.  Very happy bunny but still as ignorant as I was when I posted my question!!!

Hi @mn1945 

1. It is good to know that now your printer is back again and working. 😇

 

2. Some Windows updates are breaking printer drivers and making unavailable temporary.

Why ? I don't know 🤔

 

3. If you restarted your Windows computer, then Windows system could reset printer drivers and make it back working again.

 

4. Anyways, if you need to download driver to install your printer, use the next link for that:

* Click YES   to say thank you, 

* Click Accepted as Solution when question is answered.

Best regards,
