My Windows 10, 64 bit version is in Croatia.
I Hve the print driver and I followed the steps but when it's installing the driver it doesn't reach the 1/4 mark and closes, so the computer can't find the drivers when plugging in the printer.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor: Follow steps from the link: Click here
Root level uninstall and reinstall printer drivers:
- Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP LaserJet printer entries and uninstall them.
- Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
- Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
- Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
- Again, go to run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
To reinstall, click here. Basic drivers
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Thanks for the reply!
Unable to remove drivers. When I try, I get the message: The HP LaserJet P1005 (x64) driver is being used to:
HP LaserJet P1005 (Copy 1),
although I don't have any printers on the Control panel.
When I try to delete drivers in the system 32, I get the message: The action cannot be performed because the file is opened in WmiPrvSE.exe
