Product: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi,

I had been using a Windows 10 laptop along with the LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw so long and had no problems. Now I have upgraded to a Windows 11 Laptop but am unable to connect wirelessly to the LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw. I understand this product is not supported on Windows 11. Can anyone suggest if a work around is possible or not. Are there any driver updates available to make it work? Regards HEndow

Hi OsSt,

I had tried the "Print & Scan Doctor" too earlier without success.

But now I have found a solution!! I downloaded the LJ Pro MFP M126 printer driver meant for windows 10 once again to my windows 11 machine. Instead of running it directly (as I had done for the windows 10 machine), I first extracted the files into a folder and then run the "Autorun".

You can try windows 10 drivers as windows 11 is just refreshed the same thing. 
After upgrading you seem to have lost the installation of the printer. Find windows 10 drivers and try to reinstall it. Worked many times before 🙂

Hi,

I have not upgraded my old laptop from windows 10 to windows 11. I have just purchased a new Dell laptop with windows 11. As such I have not downloaded any drivers on the windows 11 laptop except for the MFP M126nw printer driver, meant for windows 10. With this printer driver my new laptop could not get connected to the printer, though the same printer is working with the old windows 10 laptop. HP themselves have listed this printer as not compatible with windows 11 system.

Can you be more specific about the drivers you are referring to please? Regards HEndow
