    Can you recommend a printer that is both wireless and can be connected directly to my new surface pro 11. I live out, and my internet connection goes down frequently. I lime to print my photes off line. I can currently do that with my surface pro 6 which is on its last leg.

  2. which printers are compatible with Surface pro 11

    Someone should identify a home printer that actually works with a Surface Pro 11. Microsoft chose to produce the Surface Pro 11 with an ARM processor that creates a number of challenges. I have found that printing is one of those challenges. My HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 scans and otherwise indicates everything is OK except that when I try actually to print I get an error message. Reaching out to HP has been a pointless, time-wasting exercise. The HP 8720 is rather old, so I would not mind buying a new printer, but I need to know that any new printer would be compatible. I have searched without success for Surface Pro 11 compatible printers. Surely somewhere someone has found a printer that will work. (Note that I am referring to a typical home printer environment. I think that in a business networked environment there are ARM compatible solutions.)

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    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.

    Surface Pro will not recognize multi-function printer as a printer

    Hello Brandon,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Based on your Surface Pro 7 is having trouble recognizing the Sharp MX-3070V multi-function printer (MFP) as a printer, and it only shows up as a scanner in the device's menu. I am here to help and let's work on this together. Allow me to ask some questions to further isolate the problem.

    • Is this the first time connecting this printer to your Surface? or did this work before?
    • What build version of Windows your Surface is currently running?

    Let’s explore some potential solutions to address this issue:

    1. Make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the same network as the Surface Pro.

    2. Check if the printer is set as the default printer. Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners and select the printer. Click on "Manage" and then "Set as default".

    3. Remove and reinstall printer driver. Although you mentioned reinstalling the driver, let’s try a more thorough approach:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
    • Locate the printer's drivers. Then right-click on the printer and choose Uninstall device.
    • Disconnect the printer from the Surface Pro.
    • Reboot the Surface Pro.
    • Reconnect the printer and let Windows automatically install the driver.
    • Check if the printer now appears correctly as a printer.
    4.Try adding the printer manually. Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners and click on "Add a printer or scanner". Select "The printer that I want isn't listed" and follow the on-screen instructions to add the printer manually.

    5. Check any updates available for your Surface. Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date. Go to Settings > Windows updates and check for updates. Install any pending updates and restart your Surface Pro. Also check optional updates available.

    6. Run Surface Diagnostic Toolkit

    See: Fix common Surface problems using the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit (microsoft.com)

    7. Run the system file checker to check if there are corrupted system files that are just looping around causing this kind of issue to exist. See Using System File Checker in Windows - Microsoft Support.

    I hope the provided solution works for you. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards,

    Lavenia
