HP printer will not print to MacBook Air (2017). Can add scanner, but not the printer. Could it be the OS Monterey 12.7.6 is not compatible?

Original Title: New HP printer not printing
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.7
I looked at the support page to which Rudegar linked, and there are no macOS drivers there. Only Windows ones.
While Monterey is "out of date" (no longer one of the most recent three), I don't think that's the reason that there is no driver for your printer. In my experience, printer manufacturers do not remove old drivers from their support sites just because new operating systems come along.
The good news is that the printer's Technical Specifications page says this (emphasis mine):
HP Support – HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer
"Mobile printing capability
Chrome OS; HP app; Apple AirPrint™; Wi-Fi® Direct Printing; Mopria™ certified [4]"
If a printer supports AirPrint, you do not need separate drivers. Any recent version of macOS (including Monterey) should be able to print to it, using the support built into macOS.

you don't list the model so I can't link to where on hps site you can find the newest driver for that model, it should make it clear which macOS versions hp support.
Yes, HP support states it’s because MacOS (Monterey 12.7.6) is out of date.
you can check if the guternberg project support your printer model Gutenprint Supported Printers
