Windows 11 says "No Driver Available" for HP Deskjet 1112

[Kittenball]

Hi. I am trying to get this printer to work after getting a new Windows 11 system. Windows says "Driver is unavailable," and the HP Smart App finds no problems with my printer. There doesn't appear to be a way to manually install the drivers from the Smart App. Are there Windows 11 drivers available?

Welcome to the HP User Community.

Printer is supported in Windows 11

Windows 11 compatible HP printers

Not sure why you cannot select the Full Driver

Basics...

Download and save

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software

Disconnect the USB cable from between the printer and the computer.

• Open File Explorer
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

NOTES

Do not reconnect the cable until asked to do so.

When the option is presented, select to install the Full Software and Drivers

Thank you! The link you gave went to a different installer than the one I had downloaded, and it put the driver on I needed. I appreciate your help.

You are welcome.

Easy Start Software is a "wrapper" that is capable of finding and installing more than one of the types of printer software for a printer.  Generally, it works - and in some cases, it works better than the traditional methods.

Happy Printing.
