Product: Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have been trying to apply all (as I  am definitely not the only one) hits tips, docters, drivers and all, but I cant pass the problem. it should be so simple, hook up a printer to your laptop, autoinstall and run, and it fails everytime. 

 

The end result of every action is that my printer is listed in Windows with "Driver is unavailable".

Sending the docs to hpeprint works, so printer is working, also installing on other laptop also works.

Scanning does work, although HP printer docter installed a different type of device (HP LJ M278M281)

i am really desperate.
