What errors HP Officejet Pro8600 NOT CONNECTING to the simple WIFI set up with WIN11

[Mtnmann]

I had a contract due last week and I was working on it the night before on my computer after I had upgraded to Windows 11 the night before. I went to print my documents as usual and started on the 6 hour panic because the HP office jet 8600 Pro that has served me so well suddenly can't hook up on a simple Wi-Fi connection to my computer! I had to download the documents to Google drive eventually and figure out how to print these documents through my phone instead of my Windows 11 laptop. What is going on!? I simply need to hook up my printer. Is there some reason this has not been simply added to the firmware code for the office jet 8600 Pro!? I never should have had to experience what I did, going into the meeting looking like I hadn't slept in 2 days because of what I went through the night before because one of the top printer makers does not update the firmware for a simple Wi-Fi hook up? Please let me know what I need to do to hook up my office jet 8600 Pro to my computer now that I have updated to Windows 11. Thank you
