Hi @Stak3,
I'd like to help!
Try the below suggestions-
1)Uninstall HP Smart
2)Install all the available Windows updates
If it is been a while since you updated your Windows, that is the main reason why Windows says your HP printer driver is unavailable. Here are the steps how to do a Windows Update to install all accessible operating system update.
If you are accessing Windows 10, then these steps are for you.
- Hit the Start menu and write an update. After that, click on the “Check for updates” option.
- Tap on the “Check for updates” option.
- After clicking on that option, Windows will install the updates automatically.
- When Windows completes all its updates, start your computer again and attempt to print a file to check if your printer works.
3) try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
4)Reinstall HP Smart
If the issue persists, install HP Easy Start(Software -Utility)
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello Jay,
First of all thank you for your time. Well, i think this is my problem, i can't update. I tried many things, also in safe mode, i don't know if i did it right or not, the point is my laptop refuses to update, so i guess there is no reason to try to install the Smart app, which, actually, was unable to download it, not to install it.
Anyway, i try to fix this problem, although i don't know what else can i do.
Thank you for your welcome too!
