HP 4650 all in one printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've hired two technicians and used an HP technician who went into my computer to find out why my desktop HP Envy computer won't print when I send it to my new, HP 4650 All In One Printer. No one seems to be able to make it work. The desktop and the printer are both less than six months old. I've made sure Windows is up to date as is the printer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. I don't want to be part of the HP Something or other that makes you join a Microsoft group in order to be able to download the entire package including drivers. There is no other place for just downloading the divers. There doesn't seem to be any information about how to do it without getting stuck belonging to some HP club that I don't want to belong to. Anyone know how to get just the drivers without anything else?
