Hi I was given an HP photosmart 7960 but when I plug it in an it autoinstalls, it just reads 'drivers not available' on the 'printers and scanners' page. I've tried reinstalling but it comes up with the same message every time. Hp print and scan doctor links to empty driver page and all other references to this seem to say it will use default windows printer drivers, but it's not working for me.
Any way of solving this?
