Can't Find HP Photosmart 7700 Driver

David484 · ‎01-09-2022

Under the HP Photosmart 7700 drivers and software page, there is only a link to download the troubleshoot/doctor program. Thankfully, I was unable to download that with no issue. However, there is no download available for the Driver-product installation software.... which is by far, the most important software. Can anyone help me find/get the download?

Hello @David484 .

Download any of the following drivers:
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL40842/ds-99374-24/upd-pcl6-x64-7.0.1.24923.exe
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL40842/ds-99376-24/upd-ps-x64-7.0.1.24923.exe

After you download it, you can run the file and in the next window please before unzip it, please remove the check that says it will open the .exe file, then if you can click on unzip, it will tell you that the files have been unzipped and you can close the window.

Then go to control panel > devices and printers > select the printer and right click to access the printer properties, then select the advanced tab. Click the new driver or new driver button, the new driver installer will appear, click next, then click browse, and go to the C or local C drive to find the HP Universal Driver folder, open the folder and also the X64 folder, then select the file that says HPBUIO200l.inf and hit open.
This will return you to the new driver installer, hit finish and the new driver will load.
Finally, try printing.
