Deskjet 1110 does not print

[NisseG]

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 11. When I try to print with my Deskjet 1110, nothing happens. There is no sound from the printer, nor does anything move. Yet the computer says it's printing... I have the HP smart app installed, I have checked for the latest updates, and I have tried to remove and reconnect the printer, and I have new HP original cartridges. Apparenly the app has noticed that I have my printer connected, and I have managed to print a  diagnostic page, but I can't print any of my documents.

The printer worked fine on my old computer (with Windows 11).

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

I read that HP Smart will work with only a USB connection -- I've never seen it.

If you have not done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

• The Full Feature Software provides access to the printer features.
• The software supports printing and scanning using the Printer Assistant and HP Scan (shortcuts installed on the Desktop)
• The full driver supports printing and scanning from other software and applications.

Printer Software

>>> Full Feature Software - Web Pack Installation Package - Information and Download <<<

HP DeskJet 1110 series Print and Scan Driver and Accessories 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

Basic Instructions - Install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

Preparation

• If the printer software is still / already installed, Uninstall the printer software  from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > Restart the computer and log in – Reference Uninstall HP printer software and drivers

NOTE:  If the printer also installs Help files - Uninstall the printer help file package from Programs and Features when you are uninstalling the main printer software.

• >>> After the printer software is uninstalled, check that the printer is not still lurking in Devices and Printers.  If the printer is listed, Right-Click on the printer and "Remove" > Restart the computer and sign in.

Continuing

• If using VPN, shut it off to install software.  NOTE >> If you don’t know what this is, you are not using a VPN – ignore this part.

• Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.  Later... Connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation procedure).

• Observation:  It is possible (assuming your Wireless Network is stable) that using a Wireless connection to install the printer software might work better than using an Ethernet Connection.   Personal choice - the Wireless connection method is recommended when you face insurmountable issues installing the software.

Installation

• Download and Save the Full Feature Software Web Pack installation package or the Easy Start Software
• Open File Explorer
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• If using a USB printer cable to connect the printer to the computer, connect the cable when instructed to do so, near the end of the installation procedure
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

If using Easy Start

• Skip any extra software / offers you do not want – Wording varies as does the number of times you have to “skip” or opt-out of various options.
• When asked, opt for "Full Software and Drivers" (exact wording might vary).
• Easy_Start_Full_Driver_2

• If, after the Full Software and Drivers option is selected, the installation terminates (suddenly stops and disappears – never comes back): Open your Downloads folder > Look for and Right-Click on the full Web installation package and “Run as Administrator”
