Hi @avengerx45,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
To reinstall the drivers for your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M29w, start by downloading and installing the necessary software from the HP Support Page. Search for your printer model and select the full-feature software and drivers compatible with your operating system, such as Windows 10 (64-bit). Install the HP Smart App or the full driver package to ensure all functionalities are restored.
Once the installation is complete, reconnect your printer. For a USB connection, simply plug in the printer and restart your computer. If you're using Wi-Fi, press and hold the Wireless button on the printer for about five seconds until it starts blinking, indicating it's ready to connect. Then, use the HP Smart App to add the printer and complete the Wi-Fi setup.
If you're still encountering issues, you can run the Windows Printer Troubleshooter. Navigate to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners, remove the printer if it's listed, and then click "Add a printer" to let Windows detect and reinstall it.
