Hi @Svilla,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Certainly! You can still install your HP Photosmart C4480 printer without the installation CD by following these steps.

Connect the Printer: First, make sure your printer is properly connected to your computer via USB cable or connected to your Wi-Fi network if it's a wireless printer.

Automatic Installation (Windows):

• For Windows users, often when you connect the printer, the operating system will automatically detect it and attempt to install the necessary drivers.
• Wait for a few minutes to see if Windows installs the drivers automatically. If it doesn't, proceed to the next step.

Download Drivers (Windows and Mac):

• Visit the official HP support website (https://support.hp.com) and go to the "Software and Drivers" section.
• Enter your printer model (Photosmart C4480) and select your operating system (Windows or Mac).
• Download the latest drivers for your printer model.

Install Drivers:

• Once downloaded, double-click the downloaded file to start the installation process.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the driver installation.

Test the Printer:

• Once the installation is complete, try printing a test page to ensure that the printer is set up correctly.

Optional Software:

• You may also want to download any additional software or utilities provided by HP for your printer model, such as scanning software or printer management tools.

Manual Installation (Windows):

• If Windows didn't automatically detect the printer, you can manually add it by going to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a Printer, then follow the prompts to add your printer manually.

Manual Installation (Mac):

• On a Mac, go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, click the "+" button to add a new printer, and follow the prompts to add your Photosmart C4480.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install your HP Photosmart C4480 printer without the installation CD.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
