Tried to download the driver from HP website and run the installation but it’s the same issue.

@rbence94,

 

Welcome to the HP Forums!

 

Thank you for posting your query on this forum, it's a great place to find answers.

 

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are facing issues installing the printer on your computer.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I will need a few more details.

  • How is the printer connected to the computer? (Wired/Wireless)
  • Have you performed any troubleshooting steps before posting?

 

Meanwhile, I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.

 

1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features

2.) Select your HP Printer

3.) Select Uninstall

4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers

5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'

6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.

7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)

8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab

9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom

10.) Select Ok

11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows

12.) Close Devices and Printers

13.) Restart the PC

14.) Download and install the printer software from the below link.

After going through all of these steps, the install is still not working. There is also no IP address available on the device control panel, can you specify how to find the IP  addresss?

Yes, I downloaded the driver and after the extraction it didn’t go to installation, the dialogue box just closed. That’s was the issue for the first user as well.

1. Copy the "hp_LJPM11-M13_Full_Solution-v20160225-10229428-signed.exe" - file into a folder.

2. Extract the "hp_LJPM11-M13_Full_Solution-v20160225-10229428-signed.exe" - file to here with WinRAR.

3. Run "HpSetup.exe" from the extracted files.

 

That helped me.

 

God luck.

Thank you so much for this pointer.

I've been struggling with this for months and never thought of manually extracting the files.
