@Eftimovska, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

To ensure your HP Deskjet D1460 works with your new Windows 11 laptop, you can follow these steps:

Install the Printer Software

HP Support Website: Visit HP's official support website and search for drivers for the Deskjet D1460. If the official Windows 11 driver is not available, you might try using a Windows 10 driver, as they are often compatible.

Automatic Detection:

• Connect your printer to the laptop via USB.
• Open the Windows 11 Settings by pressing Windows Key + I.
• Navigate to Devices > Printers & scanners.
• Click on Add a printer or scanner and follow the on-screen instructions. Windows will attempt to find the necessary drivers.

Manual Installation

If the above methods do not work, you can try:

Use Windows Update:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security.
• Click on Windows Update, and select Check for updates. Windows might download the necessary driver as part of the update.

Compatibility Mode:

• Right-click the downloaded driver file or the installation executable.
• Select Properties > Compatibility.
• Check Run this program in compatibility mode for, and choose Windows 10.
• Click Apply, then OK. Run the installation again.

Check for Issues

• Ensure that the printer is powered on and properly connected to the laptop via USB.
• Try different USB ports on your laptop.
• Double-check that there are no hardware issues with the printer.

I hope this helps.
