Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP have own drivers but Windows 10 also offer easy install drivers via Settings/Devices/Printers.

What are you not able to print/other using the Windows 10 Driver? Should I choose the HP Driver?

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

The Windows driver is the built-in driver. To use all the features of the Printer, you would need the full feature driver: https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers

 

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for your comment. I do understand that the Wiindows driver is basic. What I am seeking to find out is what  additional features will the HP driver offer. Hope you can summarise.

Thanks for advice ... so fast!

I also have HP Smart installed on my devices (Windows pc included) and this has a good scan feature which with the Windows driver seems to offer all I need. Will stick with this for the time being ... in the past I have found that a full feature HP driver wants to install all sorts of software incl. image management.

 

Thanks again for taking time out to assist

Cheers Ron

The HP Smart App is a great App and you're most welcome. Do get back to us in the future for further assistance.

 

Have a nice day!:)
