HP Officejet 4500 G510g
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi!

I need to install the driver for my HP Officejet 4500 G510g on Windows 10 but apparently it`s not available anymore.

I can`t use the printer without it, so I desperately need to get it.

Thanks for any tips!

True:  The driver for this printer and others of about the same vintage are no longer available.

 

Will they come back?  My personal opinion is that the drivers won't be available in HP - likely because they can no longer be supported in Windows 10 and even less likely in Windows 11.  I could be wrong.  If the removal was not intentional, the drivers will show up again at some point.

 

You might be able to get the drivers somewhere.  For now, and maybe permanently, they are not available from HP.

 

Do be careful about downloading software from the Internet.  Download into a sand boxed (isolated) folder in your system and check with your Security software before using.
