M1217nfw MFP Win 10 Driver

[RN8]

My M1217nfw MFP printer which I re-installed about a year ago is working fine networked to another Win 10 PC .  I have a new Win 10 PRO  PC and the installation process concludes with a "driver is not available" message.   The HP driver website confirms  that print drivers are not available.  I have tried everything I can think of on the official HP printer driver websites to no avail.

I would appreciate any advice on how to get my M1217nfw MFP installed on my new Win 10 Pro PC.

Thanks!

Shlomil  -thank you so much for your quick response.  

I read the won't start on window 10 knowledge base article and noted that the article has strike through  lines for the M1212 with a line below indicating that a driver is available at hp.com (see below but NOTE - I could not find any)

   HP LaserJet Pro M12 Printer series:

     New drivers are available at hp.com.  

So,  I downloaded the file listed under  HP LaserJet Pro M1130 \ M1210 Multifunction Printer since there was a M1210 (close to a M1217) in the title.  This downloaded file LJM1130 M1210 MFP Full Solution.exe file.  Following your suggestions I opened the first 7z____ folder, but could not find an executable file with an HPSetup.exe file.

Sorry to bother you again, but I could sure use more help.  There must be a way to do this since two of my other Win 10 PCs succesfully connect to the printer via the network

Thanks

You are welcome @RN8.

HP Officejet Pro M12 is another series, your printer is part of the M1210 Series indeed and the HpSetup.exe file need to be withing the 7z folder as described indeed.

Please access the %temp% folder again, then select all using CTRL+A and delete any content within that folder (no worries, these are all temporary files, if any file fails to delete skip it.

Next launch LJM1130 M1210 MFP Full Solution.exe again and you will see a single 7z folder within the temp folder, that ensures you are looking at the correct folder indeed.

Double-click HpSetup.exe within the newly created folder and follow the install wizard.

Please let me know if you were now able to locate the file.
