"waiting for printer to become available" macOS 11.1

hi , i have an hp Deskjet printer 2645 all in one printer for years ago and once i update the new verion of big sur , one week now i receive the same message, I got a "waiting for printer to become available" error. I read in to many forums and tried too many things ( i Download HP Uninstaller.zip , and reinstall the hp software 4 times ) but no luck , i see in apple support this HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS

i install it he doesn't do anything . The printer doesn't print even the test page, so I know it is reading my Mac and can assume it's not the USB cable .

please help urgently , i need it for my studies

What can I do?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Just installing HP drivers in the Mac does not let the printer see those drivers. You have to visit System Preferences : Printers & Scanners panel. With your printer powered and connected, right-click on the Printer entry and select Reset Printing system… . This will remove the printer entry on that panel, and allow you to re-add it by selecting the HP driver for that device. Once you have re-added the printer, try to print something.
