HP ENVY Photo 7155 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I lost the setup on my desktop for my Envy Photo 7155 and have been trying to get it up and running again on my wifi network.  No matter which path (including HP Smart) I take to get it set up, I am told it is set up but then tries to install a driver.  The end result is a printer with the "Driver is not available" note in the Printers and Scanners app.  The strange thing is I can print to this printer from my laptop, my wife's laptop and her desktop but not from my desktop which is all of 3 feet from the printer.  Has anyone else run into this situation?  Thanks

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

Try (again) the uninstall / reinstall of the printer software - this time add the steps in the Check and Remove Section (example included later in this message).

 

Start here

If you can stand it,

Restart Everything, including the router that controls your network.

 

At the least, Restart the computer exhibiting the problem and the printer.

 

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

Printer Software - Install - Full Feature Software

 

If you have not done so, consider

 

If the software is already installed and you want to "reinstall":

Uninstall the printer software from Programs and Features

Restart the computer and log in

Check that all the pieces of the printer software have been removed - if anything is deleted, Restart computer and log in

 

Add steps "Check and Remove"

Check_and_Remove_Section_4Check_and_Remove_Section_4

 

Next,

Download, Save, (then) Install new copy of the printer software

After the software in installed, Restart the computer and log in

Thanks for the information but all of these actions are for Windows 11 and I am still on Windows 10.  I have used HP Smart, HP Easy Start and 123.HP.Com in trying to resolve this issue but am still getting a "Driver is unavailable" message.  I also tried HP Print and Scan Doctor and that ended up with the message that the driver is not there.  I did download the full webpack for my printer but have not been able to get that to install yet.  I will keep working on it.  I double checked our other systems this morning and as I mentioned yesterday, the printer is installed on our two laptops and another desktop and seems to be working fine.  It just won't connect to my desktop which is where it has been connected since I bought it four years ago.  I ran sfc and DISM today in hopes that there might be a corrupted file somewhere but nothing showed up on either one.
