HP Deskjet 5160 Color Inkjet
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

 

Hello,

 

I want to install my printer but couldn't find a driver for my product. I let HP search my product and it says it's a HP Deskjet 5160 Color Inkjet Printer model 5151 (serial number given is correct) but when I select this product I'm forwarded to this page

  http://h22207.www2.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-deskjet-5100-printer-series/304430/model/3044...    And I can't download a driver or something there.

 

Can anyone please help me because I'm really confused now.

I'm working with Windows 10 64 bit

Thanks for helping me out. This wasn't the solution although my problem has been solved by a friend.

 

De computer and the printer couldn't communicate with each other. Unplugging the power- and USB cable, restarting the computer and replugging the power- and uwb-cable was the solution to this problem.

 

Thanks anyway and keep up the good work!!!

Hi @Sandra20,

 

Thanks for posting, I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

 

As I understand from your post that you are unable to install HP Printer drivers on your windows 10 computer.

 

Well, firstly I would like to inform you that the full feature printer driver for your HP Deskjet 5160 color printer is not available. However, you can install the in-built drivers onto your computer for printing.

Keep me posted and I hope you have a good day ahead,

Glad to help you, I work for HP
