Can't install Laserjet P1102

[syaper]

I have just brought new laptop with Window10.  Tried very hard many times to install the drivers for Laserjet P1102.  Downloaded the driver so many times.  After clicking to execute, it ask if I allow the HP software to make changes to my laptop, which I answer "yes".  But nothing happens after that.   So many times.  Triedto  use HP Print scan Doctor to diagnose.  Also use HP Easy Start.  It points me to download the driver, which is useless, as I explained in the first few lines.  I guess HP do not want spend resoures to update the drivers anymore.   Disappointed.  So,  have to spend money to buy a new printer.  Will look beyond HP.

Hi,

Browse to C:\LJP1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solutio and launch HpSetup.exe, this will launch the installation program to install your printer.

Must have downloaded more than 10 times and tried launch it.  As I explained, after clicking "yes" to allow the HP driver to make changes to my device, nothing happens. I note the the driver was 2016 update?  So, really out of sync with the times, and HP not spending resources to upgrade.

I have tried using the Windows 10 to find and install the HP P1100 series, it is not there.  

[syaper]

Yes, did Window 10 search many times, HP P1100 series is just no there.

Downloaded the driver maybe like over 10 times.  As I explained above, not sure if you have read the post in full.  After downloading, the driver software asked if it is allowed to make changes to my device.  After clicking "yes", nothng happens.  Tried that for umpteen times, restarted my laptop.  

I note that the driver is 2016 version, so guess HP not willing to put upgrade the driver.  I have two P1102 printers, one in home and one in office.  Guess it is a write off now and throw it away.  HP will not support it any more.

So after clicking 'YES' do you need a password?

Is it expanded onto your C:?

I used a DOS box and ran as Administrator to view it.  So open a DOS box, cmd.exe as Admin, and goto C:\ and type DIR to show the structure, copy and paste the evidence to show that it has not worked please.

[syaper]

Thanks.  Like you pointed out.  Search C: found the application file, clicked and it worked.  Thanks for your assistance.

[CF4]

Prego.

Sorted/Solved?

[syaper]

Yes, it is now sorted out.  Thanks

I already found the file in C, clicked on it and the file extracted but nothing happens. The problem still exists.
