HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw Multifunction Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

I bought a new desk top PC (Windows 11), but cannot find the original scanner software disk (Read-Iris) that came with the HP LaserJet M1217 nfw MFP. The basic scanner driver/software I have found on the internet work, but does not work fast and requires setup every time I scan. That is much too tedious. Suggestions please.

The printer is not listed as supported in Windows 11.

The printer software -- no listing for Iris OCR software - was supported in Windows 10 (and older).

If you have scan software that does the job, use that.
