HP Smart tank 589 printer USB driver issue

[kumarnitesh3025]

Hi HP Community,

I'm having trouble installing the driver for my HP Smart Tank 589 printer on Windows 11.

In Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners, I see:

• HP Smart Tank 580–590 series (HPFA1F04) as the default printer.
• Another printer named "HP" with the message "Driver is unavailable."

I've already tried:

• Restarting the printer and the PC.
• Removing and re-adding the printer.
• Checking Windows Update for drivers.
• Downloading and installing the latest driver from the HP Support website.
• Installing the HP Smart app.

The installation still fails, and Windows continues to show "Driver is unavailable."

Could someone please help with the following?

Run the following app from the command line

printui /s

Remove all references to all HP printers.

Install the full feature driver (see below) and then search for the printer. You must have the full feature driver. This search may fail if the printer is in Wi-Fi direct mode and not connected to the router.

Watch the reset video or perform the steps. After resetting, you generally have 2 hours to complete the setup. Decide if you want to connect the printer to the router or to print directly to the printer and bypass the router.

Many HP and other OEM printers have problems with the router when the router has two or more bands and all have the same name (SSID). Log into the modem and rename one of the bands. Alternately, contact your ISP and have them rename a band, or simply use Wi-Fi direct.

HP+ printers are designated by a lowercase "e" at the end of their model number (e.g., 8135e rather than 8135). These models are enabled for HP's smart printing ecosystem, which requires a permanent internet connection, an HP account, and the exclusive use of Original HP ink for the lifetime of the printer.

If English is not your native language or if you wish to get additional information not covered below, then use the HP and Microsoft support assistants. The latest HPSA supports 36 languages and can be downloaded here. Microsoft's AI assistant is in the latest Windows 10 and 11 releases and there are instructions here on how to enable the AI. Microsoft's AI assistant (Copilot) has a microphone button and supports natural language processing.

Disconnecting the USB cable may still leave the printer in the wired or Wi-Fi mode. Connecting an ethernet cable may still leave the printer in Wi-Fi mode. The Wi-Fi reset is used to put Wi-Fi printers into setup mode. Some resets are simple and others require a video to understand. Factory resets cannot be revealed in this forum. To do a factory reset of your printer, you must contact HP.

Wi-Fi reset instructions and videos (if any) are shown below. Generally you have 2 hours to connect your printer after performing the Wi-Fi reset. Note that a reset video may show a slightly different model than yours. Do not call any phone numbers revealed in any video or site.

1. HP Smart Tank 585 printer, turn off the printer, then hold down the Resume and Black Copy buttons simultaneously while turning the printer back on. Keep holding the buttons for 5 seconds, then release. The printer will restart, and a blinking wireless LED indicates the reset is complete

Wi-Fi connection

Ideally, your Wi-Fi printer should connect to the modem or router. If your network has multiple boosters / repeaters, it is possible the printer may connect randomly to any of the units. The router needs to provide the same IP address on every connection. This rarely happens with random connects. An alternate Wi-Fi connection is Wi-Fi direct. Your laptop or smartphone prints directly to the printer and does not go through the router. Do not call any phone number revealed in any video or site.

This video shows how to connect to the router: 520 540 580 585 5101 5103
Wi-Fi Direct can be used to avoid configuring the router. Watch this: 580 5100
Wi-Fi Direct is explained on page 28 of the User Manual, this Wi-Fi setup avoids configuring the router.
A simple connection to the router can be done by using the WPS pushbutton method. This is explained on page 15 in this User Manual.
