Thank you to everyone who suggested completely removing and reinstalling the printer and HP Smart. This worked for me. Although I had previously re-installed the printer, I don't think I had removed it from every possible place.

For anyone else in the same situation, I followed these instructions (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/how-do-i-uninstall-and-reinstall-a-print...) and the printer is now working again.

Thanks to all, printer is now working. I deleted the printer from HP Smart and Windows control panel. I used HP Smart to reinstall. HP Envy 6100e is now working with Windows 11.

I am not computer savvy. Could someone give me the steps in easy terms I can follow.  I am greatly appreciating anyone's help.  Thank you

I am having the same problem, was only printing a couple of days ago, however since then my system has updated during the night;

Since this update, the following message appears when I am attempting to print from Microsoft Word:

Same problem today as others. New firmware update did not help. Removed printer from Windows11 Settings and  Added it back. Works fine now. Sheesh, HP!

I couldn't find a way to delete the printer from Windows 11.  Can you explain how to do that?

I did the uninstall and reinstall of HP Smart as per the instructions on this page and it made no difference. I can print from my Mac, but not from my work Windows 11 laptop.

Remove the printer from Windows in the Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Devices and Printers.

Reboot.

Add the printer again following the same path in the Conrol Panel.

It works.
