Hi,

Does anyone have a download or a link to the latest driver for a HP Photosmart C5180 printer?

All links seem to be outdated sadly.

Thanks!

The HP Photosmart C5180 is an older model, and finding drivers for it can be challenging. However, you can typically find and download the necessary drivers from HP's official support website. Here’s how you can locate and install the driver for your HP Photosmart C5180:

Obviously the driver is archived, otherwise I wouldn't need to ask. So this whole reply is useless. 

Luckily a reputable site did have the driver, very disappointing you didn't even link one while referring to it. For any future users:
