Hi,
The HP Envy Photo 7100 is a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology.
About AirPrint - Apple Support
This means that it is compatible with macOS Monterey, and can be used without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the Mac are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).
To begin with, you may want to reset the printing system and re-add the printer.
Reset the printing system on your Mac to solve a problem – Apple Support (UK)
Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac – Apple Support (UK)
Also, it may not be a bad idea to try a power-cycle sequence (do not forget the router): Power off the router, the printer, the Mac, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the Mac. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.
A USB printer connection would require drivers. Generally speaking, be careful if you need drivers from the Internet. Download from an official web site of the printer manufacturer only, or from another trustworthy source (such as Apple).

Thank you....but this did not work as after I chose my printer...it "gathers info" and does not find it. I get the Message: Unable to communicate with the device.
I've tried everything between HP and Apple with no success. This just happened yesterday. I have no idea why.
I have a PC guy but he is currently unavailable...I'm hoping he can help.
If you can think of anything else in the meantime, I would greatly appreciated it and try anything.

Yea!!! My husband and I had talked about "rebooting" this morning...so I was so happy to see that as your suggestion...and your order of doing that helped as I don't think I would have done the router too.
Many many thanks! And may you have a wonderful day!
All the best,

Hi,
Printer driver for macOS is Big Sur is the latest. There is not driver for macOS Monterey or Ventura available yet.
You're welcome! Glad to hear that it worked.
Oh me too!!! 😊
