Hi @lizanta 

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The HP DeskJet 1220C is quite an old printer model, and finding the latest drivers can be a bit tricky. Here’s how you can get the best drivers for your DeskJet 1220C on a Windows system:

HP Support Website:

  • Visit the HP Support page and enter "DeskJet 1220C" in the search bar. Look for any available drivers or software updates specific to your operating system.

Use Compatibility Mode:

  • If the latest drivers are not available, you can try installing older drivers in compatibility mode:
    • Right-click on the driver setup file.
    • Select Properties.
    • Go to the Compatibility tab.
    • Check Run this program in compatibility mode for: and choose an older version of Windows (like Windows 7).

Windows Update:

  • Sometimes, Windows will automatically install generic drivers for older printers. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any updates that may include printer drivers.

Add Printer via Windows:

  • Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners and select Add a printer or scanner. Windows might be able to find a suitable driver for your DeskJet 1220C.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
