the system refused to install the printer (HP Deskjet 930c) in window 7

Hi- I've just successfully installed my old HP 930C printer on my Windows 7 laptop.

Here's how:

Plug the printer USB into the laptop and switch the printer ON

Go to Windows Updates

Untick all the recommended updates

Go to Optional updates

Look for the HP printers update - easy to find

Click on it and download - it's only about 15MB

The installation will begin directly after the download.

 

My printer didn't respond immediately so I removed and re-inserted the USB cable on the laptop, and I also switched the printer off, and then on again.

VOILA!!! All done.

 

Just one problem - the ink cartridges are hard to find for these old printers. That's my next issue..........
