  • Open HP Support Assistant.
  • Go to My Devices and select your HP device.
  • Click on Check for updates and messages.
  • If any updates are available, install them.

2. Manually Checking in Device Manager

  • Expand each category (especially Display adapters, Network adapters, Sound, video and game controllers) and check for any devices with a yellow triangle (indicating outdated or missing drivers).
  • Right-click each device and select Update driver > Search automatically for drivers.

3. Visit the HP Support Website

  • Go to HP Customer Support – Software and Driver Downloads.
  • Enter your device model and check for available driver updates.

Thanks,
I uninstalled HP Update and installed HP Support Assistant. But how do I now know, whether all drivers are actual?
No updates are available for the printer.
