Add Epson printers to your list as well
I wasted my money on a new HP LaserJet printer, when my new Surface could not connect to my five year old (and perfectly fine) HP Laser Jet Printer.
Then i wasted a few hundred dollars on support from Best Buy's Geek Squad and HP support. The bottom line was that i was told that because the new Surfaces do not include a "plug and play" application - but rather use Snapdragon -- you cannot install the drivers needed for the HP LaserJet.
In order to deflect blame, Microsoft appears to be blaming the printer manufacturers, rather than accept responsibility for creating and marketing a laptop that cannot perform one of the most basic -- and important functions -- connect to printers at ease.
So it seems that HP printers cannot connect, and Cannon printers cannot connect. This is a significant defect in these computers that the public should be warned about. I wish the person who had sold the new Surface to me had known about it and warned me. I would never have purchased it.
Not true! I have been all the way up the chain of tiers and nothing from Microsoft, HP, or Best Buy has worked to make my HP4301fdw wireless printer print from my Surface Pro 11 Snapdragon Elite computer. HP gave up trying. Microsoft must tell us which printer will actually work!
An update. Following (a few) attempts to upgrade my SP11 SSD and then upgrading Win 11 to Pro and re-installing everything, I am now able to use my HP Officejet Pro 8715 device properly. It now prints double-sided again and scanning is also OK. This is with using the HP Smart app and using the device wirelessly. Not quite sure what made the difference - the above or some Windows update perhaps - who knows?
