Hello.
I was looking for the driver of this HP printer, but seems is discontinued.
I've seen some posts, but the repository isn't avaialble...
Does someone have it?
Thanks

Hi:

I have the W7 file that you can download from my Skydrive folder that I shared with you from the link below:

You want the file labeled AIO_CDB_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_141.zip

SkyDrive

Download, unzip and run the file.

Thanks Paul.
It helped, but I was able to operate only the scanner.
the printer somehow does not work:
when I try to print a test page or aligh the printheads it shows the message:
the computer is unable to establish two way communication with the device...

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to help you with getting the printer to work.

I did find a different driver from this reputable 3rd party driver site you can try and hopefully that will work.

There is a full feature driver available as well as other drivers, but not for W10.

Hi, @ferRX 

Do you have a driver that will get @Cimant printer to work?

Thank you @Paul_Tikkanen,

1. Yes, I can provide another file, but is quite similar to the previous shared files.

2. The question is about the error "unable to establish two way communication",

• that could means a USB cable is defective and needs to change or
• the failure is in the Printer USB back port connector.

3. The first to try is "go to the basics >> printer hardware", replacing that USB cable for a new one, just to make sure USB cable is working ok.

4. Also you can try a Self Test page using printer buttons.

>> Press Cancel - Copy Color buttons at the same time
