I'v recently aquired a 8.1 Laptop and want to get my printer set up. I've done this in Windows 7 many times, using the "HP Photosmart C4700 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver" AND//OR the "HP Photosmart Basic Driver". This latter is what I was hoping to install on 8.1 the "Basic" Driver, but cannot find it. The literature at the Driver site for Windows 8.1leeds me to belive it is availabl but don't see it anywhere. It must be a typo by HP as to wheter this Driver is available to 8.1?
Just used this very driver on Windows 7 Yesterday? so don't know why it would not be available to 8.1? Not a priority but a convenience because I have a few other computers around to print from.
Thanks, pcpunk

Hi,
No, only full feature software for WIndows 8.1 as shown:
But the page has Basic drivers for Windows 7.
