HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer

I saw HP answer about the need for a Windows 11 driver : Printer C4580 is considered as a vintage product by HP...

It is not acceptable, HP must deliver the Windows 11 driver for C4580. My printer is working well, I am not going to put it away as a garbage. 

HP is definitly not a green company.

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

I agree -- "Vintage" is a good description.

I found an Amazon reference to this model - first available on that site in 2008.

 

HP is not going to provide new drivers for the printer.

 

That said, at this writing, the Windows Built-in Driver is listed as available for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

 

If you wish to do so, take advantage of what is available.

 

Old driver is Gone

 

We see occasional questions about printers for which full driver software installation packages are no longer listed for current (or older) versions of Windows.

 

The full driver printer software for this printer is no longer listed as available from HP.

 

When available for the printer and a supported version of Windows, install the Windows built-in print drivers.

 

 

Reference

Operating System = Windows / Windows 11 

  Software and drivers for HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer 

 

===================================================

When installed, the Windows print driver provides basic print function.

 

 

Reference here:

 HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver

 

Scan? See Section FAQ > How do I use the printer functions with the built-in driver?

 

Scan your documents and photos:

Complete your scan jobs with a Windows app that works with the built-in driver.

 

Examples

 

Windows Fax and Scan: In Windows, search for and open Windows Fax and Scan. Click New Scan, and then select your printer.

Windows Paint: In Windows, search for and open Paint. Click FileFrom scanner or camera.

Windows Scan app: In Windows, search for and open the Windows Scan app. If it is not listed, go to Windows  Scan (in English) to install it.

For the scanner, the solutions provided don't work under Windows 11, neither Windows Scan nor Paint detect the scanner.

Unfortunate.

Third Party Software

 

I've read varying reports about this software.

I believe it is a "purchase" option (not free).

I do not know whether it is available in your region.

 

What else?

If you can find no other options, this company specializes in Scan software for unsupported printers.

NOTE:  This reference is FYI and is not intended as an endorsement of the software.
