HP Printer wont print
the lovely adventures of printer drivers...
because i know people are gonna hop on the hate train.. this has nothing unique to HP, nor has anything to do with the 3rd party cartridge mess.. (which.. for goodness sake, stop buying 3rd party cartridges, you KNEW how much cartridges cost before you got the printer, if you want cheaper cartridges, you should have bought a brother.)
uninstall any HP crap related to the printer you have, uninstall the device driver (no idea where windows burried that in win11.. probably even deeper down a cesspit), unplug the printer, let windows update do it's thing.
then download the latest version of the simplest driver package HP has available (probably PCL-6 or something like that), plug in the printer, and run trought the installation of the driver package.
that *should* get you back on the rails.
at least HP's still got decent driver installer packages, relying on windows update for my brother has been a nightmare...
EDIT: PS i do prefer to clarify... the issue isnt that your printer wont print, the issue is that the driver is fucked up to hell and back, and your computer doesnt manage to send anything to the printer.
