HP Deskjet1280 driver for Windows8.1

[KCB2]

Good day

I need the driver for HP Deskjet 1280 printer for my new PC running on Windows 8.1 (32bit). I see this question has been posed before on the forum and I followed the advice of loading the HP Deskjet PCL3 class driver. This is now listed as a printer device. However, when I want to print a test page it shows an error and does not work (it does show up in the printer queue but nothing happens).

I have also downloaded the HP Printer and Scan Doctor 5.0, which shows that the Deskjet 1280 is not installed. When I click on PCL3 it refers back to the HP support page, and we keep on going in circles....

Please help!

Kind regards

KCB

Hi @KCB2,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you want the drivers for your HP Deskjet 1280 Printer.

As the full feature drivers are not available, I suggest that you download and install the Windows built-in drivers from the link: Windows Built-in Print Driver

Let me know how this works.
 

You have a good day ahead.

Thank you very much. This worked perfectly (using the HP Deskjet 1220 driver)

And the quick reply is most appreciated.

Have a good day there.
