Hi @Mary6924,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

Yes, you can use your HP OfficeJet 4500 printer with Windows 11. Here are the steps to add and set up your printer on your new Windows 11 computer:

1. Connect the Printer to Your Computer

Ensure your printer is turned on.

  • Connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable.
  1. Connect Printer to Wi-Fi:
    • Ensure your printer is connected to your Wi-Fi network. You can do this through the printer's control panel by navigating to the wireless settings and following the prompts to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

2. Install HP Drivers and Software

  • Open a web browser and go to the HP Support website.
  • Enter your printer model (HP OfficeJet 4500) in the search bar and press Enter.
  • From the search results, select your specific printer model.
  • Choose the appropriate drivers and software for Windows 11.
  • Download the full feature driver or the basic driver, depending on your preference.
  • Once the download is complete, open the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers and software.

3. Add the Printer in Windows 11

  • Click on the Start menu and select Settings (the gear icon).
  • In the Settings window, click on Bluetooth & devices.
  • Click on Printers & scanners.
  • Click on Add device.
  • Windows will search for available printers. Select your HP OfficeJet 4500 from the list.
  • Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

4. Verify Printer Functionality

  • Once the printer is added, you can print a test page to ensure it is working correctly.
  • Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
  • Select your HP OfficeJet 4500 and click on Printer properties.
  • Click on Print Test Page.

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
