Samsung printer driver issue on Windows 11

[printerdriversupport]

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue with my Samsung printer driver on my Windows 11. The printer was working fine earlier, but now it’s not responding when I try to print anything. I tried reinstalling the driver, but the installation either fails or doesn’t help.

Sometimes the printer shows up in the device list, but it says "driver unavailable" or just doesn't print. I also tried using Samsung Easy Printer Manager, but it doesn’t detect the printer properly.

I’m not sure if it's a compatibility issue or something else. Has anyone else faced this kind of problem?

Go to Device Manager, find the printer and any other scanners, right-click, and delete the drivers. Restart the PC. Go back to Device Manager, click the "Scan for hardware changes" button; it should install generic drivers. The printer should work; if not, search the Samsung website for your printer and reinstall the drivers.

Samsung printers are HP these days.. Samsung sold their printer division to HP a few years back.. So HP has the drivers..

Hi i have the same problem and i completely disappointed. I bought new laptop with windows 11 and do all the necessary steps that you described - reinstall/install new drivers from HP - unistall from device manager etc and no progress. This is outrageous. HP does not care at all. They want you only to buy a brand new printer.
