Hi @pierrot64,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Product. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

If your HP ENVY 4507 e-All-in-One Printer's status is unknown after upgrading to Windows 11, try the following steps to resolve the issue:

Update Printer Drivers:

  • Go to the HP website and download the latest drivers for your printer model compatible with Windows 11.
  • Install the drivers and restart your computer.

Reinstall the Printer:

  • Open Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
  • Find your printer in the list, select it, and click Remove device.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Add the printer again by clicking Add a printer or scanner and following the on-screen instructions.

Check Network Connection:

  • Ensure your printer is connected to the same network as your computer.
  • Print a network configuration page from your printer to verify its IP address and network connection.

Run Windows Troubleshooter:

  • Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
  • Run the Printer troubleshooter and follow the prompts.

Update HP Smart App:

  • If you're using the HP Smart app, ensure it is updated to the latest version from the Microsoft Store.
  • Open the app, go to Printers, and try to set up your printer again.

Check Printer Status:

  • Make sure your printer is turned on and there are no errors or warning lights on the printer itself.

Firewall/Antivirus Settings:

  • Sometimes, firewall or antivirus software can block the printer. Check your settings to ensure that the printer is allowed.
