2025-01-21T20:57:45+00:00 I purchased a new HP laser jet printer. It did not work. I gave up and bought a new Lenovo yoga pad. Just as good. I put the surface away until someone comes up with a solution to the problem.

2025-01-21T20:46:23+00:00 Someone should identify a home printer that actually works with a Surface Pro 11. Microsoft chose to produce the Surface Pro 11 with an ARM processor that creates a number of challenges. I have found that printing is one of those challenges. My HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 scans and otherwise indicates everything is OK except that when I try actually to print I get an error message. Reaching out to HP has been a pointless, time-wasting exercise. The HP 8720 is rather old, so I would not mind buying a new printer, but I need to know that any new printer would be compatible. I have searched without success for Surface Pro 11 compatible printers. Surely somewhere someone has found a printer that will work. (Note that I am referring to a typical home printer environment. I think that in a business networked environment there are ARM compatible solutions.)
I have the Surface Laptop 7 with ARM64 processor and have been dealing with similar issues. I can report the following:
- Brother MFC-L2750DW printer (about a year old) does work with my SL7, and I can print to it from Word or Adobe Acrobat, but Acrobat cannot use the scanner. To scan, I have to use Brother iPrint&Scan, which is a standalone app. That's easy enough (with a little macro to scan and save to pdf).
- Brother PT-P710BT label printer: after a long discussion with a Brother tech today, I learned that neither Microsoft nor Brother makes an ARM64 driver for the label printer. So I'm out of luck with that. My only hope is to find a standalone app for label printing, which is unlikely.

I am having this same issue without resolution.
