When trying to install printer on this computer I keep getting message that Easy Start has stopped working. I have tried going to devices and printers and adding a printer but continue to get a message that the hp part has stopped working and that microsoft will search for a solution. There is never a solution. I uninstalled my old printer. That didn't help. I tried to install a driver but keep getting the "stopped working" message.

@Coulter Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you are getting Easy Start has stopped working message.

 

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

 

Please install the HP Print and Scan Doctor to fix the issue.

Also, check for the windows update for your laptop.

 

Windows Updates -

1) In the search box, type, and open Windows Updates.

2) Check for updates.

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
