Hi @Eddie694,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

I understand you want to set up your HP Envy 7640 printer on a new Windows 11 computer. Let’s go through the steps to get it up and running.

Power on the printer and connect to Wi-Fi
Make sure your HP Envy 7640 is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Windows 11 computer.
If needed, use the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer’s control panel to connect to Wi-Fi.

Download the full-feature HP driver
Go to the HP Support website > Software & Drivers for the Envy 7640.
Download the Full Feature Software and Driver compatible with Windows 11, not just the basic driver.

Install the driver
Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
When prompted, choose Wireless Connection to connect your printer to the computer over Wi-Fi.

Test the printer connection
After installation, open Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners and confirm the Envy 7640 appears.
Print a test page from Windows to make sure printing works.

Use HP Smart (optional)
Install the HP Smart app from the Microsoft Store to manage scanning, updates, and other printer features easily.

Update firmware
Check in the HP Smart app or printer control panel for any firmware updates and install them.
This ensures all features and security updates are applied.

I hope this helps.
