Older HP LaserJet 1200 series printer, worked great on Win 10. Bought new PC with Win11. Now Printer is not recognized in my printers and scanners page. Best I can figure is that the printer is not compatible with Win 11. Can't find driver in HP site. Printer works great; hate to just toss it. Is there, perhaps a workaround?

    Hello there! I am Charity. I'm glad to help you today!

    Have you tried these drivers? From the official HP site

    https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/UPD/upd-ps-x64-7.8.0.26261.zip

    Please make sure to restart the computer after the extraction, and installation.

    Kind Regards,
