Built-in Driver
Old driver is Gone
We see occasional questions about printers for which full driver software installation packages are no longer listed for current (or older) versions of Windows.
The software for this printer is no longer listed as available from HP.
When available for the printer and a supported version of Windows, install the Windows built-in print drivers.
When installed, the Windows print driver provides basic print function.
Reference and How-to here:
HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver
Scan? See Section FAQ > How do I use the printer functions with the built-in driver?
Scan your documents and photos:
Complete your scan jobs with a Windows app that works with the built-in driver.
Examples
Windows Fax and Scan: In Windows, search for and open Windows Fax and Scan. Click New Scan, and then select your printer.
Windows Paint: In Windows, search for and open Paint. Click FileFrom scanner or camera.
Windows Scan app: In Windows, search for and open the Windows Scan app. If it is not listed, go to Windows Scan (in English) to install it.
