Hi @Elfarouq57,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

We understand you're trying to install the HP OfficeJet 7000 Wide Format Printer (E809a) and that it's not appearing correctly under Devices and Printers on your computer.
 

Unfortunately, this printer model has reached end-of-support status, and HP no longer provides official drivers for modern operating systems such as Windows 10 or Windows 11. As a result, it may not be recognized automatically or function fully on newer systems.

1. Try using Windows’ built-in driver support

• Connect the printer via USB.
• Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners → Click Add a printer or scanner.
• If Windows detects it, it may install a generic driver which provides basic print functionality (without advanced features).

🛠️ 2. Use HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

While not officially supported for this model, you can try:

• Download the HP Universal Print Driver (PCL6) from:
  HP Universal Print Driver for Windows Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
• Choose “Add a local printer” during setup, then select HP OfficeJet or a similar model manually.
• This method may provide basic printing capability but may not support wide-format or photo-quality output.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
