What is to do, to connect the printer if the CD is no more available. I only would accept a solution that do not need any addionally firmware update.

I am working with compatible cartridges and do not want that HP would be going to reject such cartridges once I have followed such support.

I made such terrible experience with another HP printer model an I am not willing to repeat such fatal mistake

Hi @solveproblems15,

Thank you for the response

Let's give these steps a try as well: 

Put Printer in Wireless Setup Mode

Turn on the printer and press the Wireless button until it starts blinking.

This enables Wi-Fi Direct or WPS Mode, depending on your router.

Connect Using WPS (If Your Router Supports It)

Press the WPS button on your router within 2 minutes of enabling Wi-Fi on the printer.

The printer should automatically connect to the network.

Check the Wi-Fi light—it should be solid (not blinking).

Find Printer’s IP Address (After Connection)

Print a Network Configuration Report by holding the Wireless button for a few seconds.

Note the IP Address from the report.

Manually Add the Printer on Windows

Go to Control Panel → Devices and Printers → Add a Printer.

Select "Add a Network Printer" and wait for your printer to appear.

If not detected, click "The printer I want isn’t listed", then select "Add a printer using TCP/IP" and enter the IP Address from Step 3.

Download Drivers Without Firmware Update

If Wi-Fi Direct or WPS isn't working, you can install drivers manually without firmware updates:

Go to HP's Official Driver Page:
HP Officejet 6100 Drivers

Download the "Basic Driver" (not the "Full Feature Software").

Install the driver and choose "Wireless Setup" when prompted.

This will connect the printer without forcing firmware updates.

I hope this helps.
