I want to download and install an updated driver, how can I get just the driver package without all the other software for this printer? I already have HP Smart installed.

Welcome to the HP Community.

 

 

The Full Feature Software / full driver printer software is installed in Programs and Features

The HP Smart application is installed in Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

Both can be installed on the computer.

 

The full driver printer software installation package (Download and Save)

HP ENVY Photo 6200 All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories 

 

Uninstall Existing Printer Software (Full Feature Software)

 

Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features >

Find / Select > Uninstall the printer software

Restart the computer and log in

 

If software will not uninstall, appears to be removed and is “still hanging around” after you uninstall / Restart...

Microsoft:  Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed

OR

Revo Uninstaller (Free version)

then

Restart the computer and log in

 

Basic Instructions - Install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

 

  • If using VPN, shut it off to install software
  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start wrapper
  • Open File Explorer
  • Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
  • Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.
  • Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator
  • If using Easy Start > When asked, opt for "Full Driver" (exact wording might vary).
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in
