HP Photosmart 145 in Windows 10

[mussolo]

Hi, 

I have an old but functioning HP Photosmart 145 and would like to use it, but there are no drivers for Windows 10.

Old threads suggested to use Windows built-in drivers. I've tried that way, but the drivers for the Photosmart 145 do not appear on the list of Windows built-in drivers. Another user suggested to try to install the drivers for Photosmart 330, which work with the 145, but I don't see built-in drivers for the Photosmart 330 on the list.

I'd like to know if there is any other driver that might work, or any other way to use this printer with Windows 10.

Hi @FerRX I have watched this video, but as I said in my opening post, it suggests to install the drivers of the Photosmart 330, which should work for the photosmart 145. 

The problem is that the video was done using Windows 7, but on Windows 10 there are no built-in drivers for the Photosmart 330. So I wonder if any of the available built-in drivers for the Photosmart series on Windows 10 will work for the 145 model.

HI @mussolo 

Well, let me tell you the process to Add manually a printer is the same for Windows 10.

When you arrive to the Add printer window to select a driver,

then you need to click on Windows update button.

• 

The windows update button will take 5 to 10 minutes to update, so you need to wait...

Then you need to click on HP and then look for Photosmart 330.

If you take a look at the video at minute 3:16 you will find to click Windows Update button.

@FerRX I have already done this, but the problem is that after I click on Windows Update, the HP Photosmart 330 does not appear on the list of printers. 

In the pictures below you can see all the Photosmart models that are listed as built-in drivers, and neither the 145 nor the 330 are included on the list.

What I am asking is if you know of any other alternative driver, appearing on the list below, that could work with the 145.

Nobody has an answer to that, shall I retire my old glorious Photosmart 145?

Hi @mussolo ,

When you add manually the printer look for a similar model like Photosmart A440
