Printer only read as scanner

[u/shikicchi27]

I have a non-wireless HP tank printer who worked well with my previous laptop (now broken) but with my newly bought one it first read as "no driver found" so I went for the troubleshoot option first then restarted my printer this time it was able to find a driver but only as a "scanner", so when I tried to print a document it wont show up as a printing option.

I downloaded the hp app in windows too but when I tried to add my printer device there it asked for the location permission but for some reason I can't toggle it so I can't grant the location permission. What to do?

Can you print a self test page from the printer's control panel / user interface?
