Method - Use the Easy Start Software to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software
For printers that support the option,
Use the Easy Start Software wrapper to find, install, and configure the printer software.
- Home Page - HP Easy Start
- Open Category Software and Drivers
- Open Topic: Software-Utility
- Download-and-Save the current version of the Easy Start Software to install your print software
- If using USB: Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.
- Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
- Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software” / "Basic" software
- If using USB: Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
- After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.
Optional Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey
- Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
- About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the Smart application). If necessary, select the "Basic" Software.
- Skip / Ignore suggestion(s) that you add anything you do not want / need at the moment. For example, you do not (at the time of installation) need an HP Account and you do not need or want to sign up for Instant Ink just because you are loading the printer software.
- Full driver provides access to the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.
