Windows 11 can't install HP LaserJet P1102W Windows 10 driver

Hello...

I am trying to install my HP LaserJet P1102W in Windows 11 Pro 64 bits using the Windows 10 driver I used before.

After detecting the printer by way of the USB cable and identifying it, the driver installation shows "Printer installation failed. A new printer was not installed".

Even though the printer is no longer supported by HP, I hoped I could still use it with Windows 11.

I have followed all the instructions from all HP tools like Easy Start, Print Scan Doctor and no one of them could even detect the printer. I have restarted windows several times, disconnected and reconnected the USB cable, turned the printer on and off, tried to connect it through the Wi-Fi, and unfortunately, none of that has made any difference. Just the complete driver installation tool is able to detect the printer, every single time it runs.

If anyone can share any suggestion, any hunch, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for your time.

    I had the same experience with my Laserjet P1102w. Downloaded the printer driver named hp_LJP1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solution-v20180815-50157037_1.exe

    which was dated June 2021. Double-clicked on the .exe file and followed its instructions, My devices and printers found it, and I was immediately able to print out a page.

    It's pretty shameful that Microsoft's and HP's support teams are either too uninformed or just unwilling to tell customers how do do this. It was really no different from installing the printer when it was new.

    My P1102w was recently installed (still new out of a factory-sealed box) as a WiFi printer and it worked for a while. Then it just wouldn't work anymore on my Dell 27" AIO Windows 11. I tried a number of things but no dice. I noticed that there was a folder on my C drive that had the same name as the command given in this article (C:\LJP1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solution) - so I was leery about de-installing my printer and possibly losing this folder - instead, I ran the program per this reply (C:\LJP1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solution\HpSetup.exe Shlomi) and chose the "repair" option after having connected the USB cable to the printer. After it finished installing, it worked perfectly fine even with the USB cable still connected. Not only that, but it seemed to respond even quicker. Thanks MN 2022.

    Good Job. Smart Install is messing up the usb port installation. It should have named Dumb Install and not Smart Install.
