Cannot download driver using HP website and tools for Photosmart C4280

[PG48_H]

I have lost the original Software driver installation disc for this printer and have failed after multiple attempts to download from HP webpage support, no download happens after I click on drivers for this printer. It just opens the diagnostic download for Pc health doctor!  which after several attempts fails to download . The printer is detected correctly by PC < just stating no driver found. Is there just a driver for this printer that can be downloaded directly from HP support?

Product introduced May 2011

The drivers for this (and other similar vintage printers) is no longer available.

HP pulled (removed) the software a while back.

That means:  You cannot download the software package.

The Doctor software is likely unable to detect the reason it cannot find the software.

Support for any device is typically about ten years - sometimes less and occasionally we have seen online support (documentation and packages) available for longer than that.

What to do?

Opinion

You might be able to find the software - whatever was last available for the device - somewhere on the Internet.

Use caution when downloading anything from the 'net.  Isolate the download and scan with your best security software before using in your system.
