Hi @LUKE1965 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

If Windows 7 drivers for your HP printer are unavailable, you can use the built-in driver provided by Windows. 

Here's how:

 

1. Connect the Printer:

• Plug your printer into the computer using a USB cable or connect it to the network if it's a network printer.

 

2. Add the Printer:

• Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a Printer.
• Select Add a Local Printer or Add a Network Printer, depending on your connection type.

 

3. Select Built-In Driver:

• When prompted to choose a printer driver, select Windows Update to refresh the list of available drivers.
• Look for your printer model in the updated list and select it.

 

4. Complete Installation:

• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
• Once installed, print a test page to confirm functionality.
