Hi @DAVE195841,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

To obtain software and drivers for the HP Photosmart A826 printer that are compatible with Windows 11, it is recommended to visit the official HP website. Here are the steps you can follow:
 


Visit the HP Support Website: Access the official HP website by navigating to HP Support.
 

Search for Your Printer Model: In the search bar on the HP Support page, type "HP Photosmart A826" and press Enter.


Select Your Printer: From the list of search results, select your specific printer model (HP Photosmart A826).


Choose Your Operating System: After selecting your printer model, you’ll be prompted to choose your operating system. Select "Windows 11" from the available list.


Download the Software and Drivers: Once you have selected the appropriate operating system, browse the available drivers and software. Typically, you will find the full feature driver package and any necessary software updates.


Install the Software: Download the driver package to your computer and run the installation file. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.


I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!

The HP official support page was no help at all! The printer is too old and my model does not show up! Even the serial number comes up empty!
