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?
which printers are compatible with Surface pro 11
Specifically. which HP printers are compatible with SP11?
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Devices and drivers

2024-09-09T08:57:09+00:00 I have just bought a Canon GX 4050 printer. I have tried to install canons Windows 11 printer drivers. They are not compatible with the Surface pro 11 X Elite Snapdragon arm systems. Canon support said turn off the firewall and try again, still no joy. Other than that, he said contact Microsoft for a solution.
Looks like it's going back to Amazon.
An update, I decided to keep the Canon GX 4050 printer because I found I can print when I connect the printer to the Suface Pro 11 via a usb lead through a converter
Thank for all the reply and input btw.

2024-08-16T23:26:29+00:00 Adding my voice as this is a critical issue. I too wouldn't mind buying a new printer, but not knowing if I can/will be able to print with the printers I have and not having any line of site on which printers might work makes me hesitate to purchase the new Surface Laptop 7th edition.
I have a Brother MFC-J875DW and a HP ColorLaserJet MFP 281fdw, but generally the vibe seems to be "Yeah, you'll just have to buy it and see if the network/default drivers work for you", which is a really crappy answer.
These are so close to being _amazing_ devices, but the compatibility issues will kill it.

2024-07-15T13:54:23+00:00 I am having the same problem. All the standard Canon ip8750 drivers I load to my Surface pro 11 are not recognised.
I have consulted with Currys support team and they're not habving any luck either

Any printer that has Wireless capability or connects to a USB-C port will be compatible with the Surface Pro 11, there is no specific printer required.
