HP Deskjet 5440. I recently purchased this printer still new in the box (never opened) and discovered it runs on 98,Me,2000, &XP. Question: Is there an install program I can use to install on my Win 7 64 bit computer?

Hi @Jay_G24,

I'd like to help!

Set up a USB printer connection in Windows without installing any additional drivers.

1. Search Windows for and open Change device installation settings, and then make sure Yes (recommended) is selected.

   

2. Make sure an open USB port  is available on your computer. Do not connect the printer to a USB hub or docking station as the printer might not receive enough power to operate properly.

3. Turn on the printer, and then connect the USB cable to the printer and to the computer port.

4. If a Found new hardware message displays, follow any prompts to install the printer.

   • If you can print, the driver installed successfully.

   • If you cannot print, continue with these steps to add the printer in Windows settings.

5. In Windows, search for and open Add a printer or scanner.

6. Click Add a printer or scanner, and then wait for Windows to locate available printers.

   • If your printer is found, click it, and then click Add device to complete the driver installation.

   • If your printer is not found, continue with these steps.

7. Click The printer that I want isn't listed.

   

8. In the Find a printer by other options window, select Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings, and then click Next.

9. In the Choose a printer port window, select Use an existing port, select USB001: (Virtual printer port for USB) from the drop-down menu, and then click Next.

10. Follow the instructions to install the driver for your printer model.

Refer to -HP printer setup (Windows built-in driver)
