HP Photosmart A617
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have been trying to find a driver for the Photosmart A617 so that I can print from my Dell Studio XPS (Windows 10 64 Bit) and Adobe Photoshop Photo Editor 14 but have been unable to locate the driver. Is one available somewhere on the HP site or elsewhere?

 

I've tried printing from a USB thumb drive inserted in the Photosmart A617 USB slot, but the printer seems unable to print 4 X 6 boarderless and reproduce a 4 X 6 print faithfully. Even thought the preview in the small display shows the full 4X6 print with caption, my photo captions are cut off when trying to print on the HP Premium 4 X 6 photo paper and there are no options on the A617 printer menu to select an option to "center" and print picture to that media size.

Thanks ShlomiL. Tried something similar through Settings on the Metro Interface/Start Menu and the old Desktop Control Panel>Devices and Printers, and while the Photosmart A617 showed up in the list of devices, it was accompanied by a message indicating that the "Driver Unavailable." Ended up searching online and found an old HP Photosmart A617 driver that works and allows me to set-up output, format, paper size, center, etc. via Adobe Photo Elements 14 Editor.
