Well I guess I have a new HP printer that does not work and cannot download or install the drivers and software from the Microsoft store. I would never recommend this printer to anyone anfter all the hassles. Whatever happened to be able to download  the software and drivers from HP> Looks like HP made a HUGE management decision error. I cannot believe how many others are having the exact sme issues. Everything else works fine on my computer, downloads, internet etc.

well since the software and drivers cannot be downloaded from the microsoft store, and they are not on the HP website  I am returning the printer, Hp decision to use the Microsoft store cost them a sale and probably a lot mre than just me

@grefra, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand you are not able to install the printer driver on the computer. I see that you are trying to download the HP Smart app from the Microsoft Store.

It looks like an issue with your internet connection as the download speed is too slow.

 

There is no known issue with downloading this app from the store.

 

Alternatively, click here to download the HP Full-feature driver for this model printer.

Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and follow the on-screen instructions.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

The download from the Microsoft store has been stuck at 585kbs downloaded for 2 days.  Will the link you sent give me the full install with the same results as HP Smart?

The link I have provided is for full-feature software via the Easy Start app. It is not HP Smart. Kindly try to download the software using th provided link and let me know how it goes.

 

You may use Google Chrome or Firefox for downloading.

 

Let me know how it goes.
