The software installed in the computer (scan/print drivers etc) does it update automatically or do I need to install HP Support Assistant in order to update the software.

 

Is the any difference if I have installed a standard windows W11 printer driver or if I have installed a driver package from HP regarding updates....?

Hello @kstrid 

 


The Windows 11 driver will handle the basics... And the HP one, installed completely.

Hello @kstrid 

 

Ideally, you should update to the latest versions.

If not, you can download a different version.
