HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - G510n
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So my printer is connected to my house's network and I can still print documents from my computer. But to scan, I need to access HP Smart. But the printer appears to be offline so I can't add it to HP Smart. I've tried everything I could find online but nothing works. While trying everything, I tried to detect scan issue on HP Print and Scan Doctor, it says "A problem was found with device registration. You should remove the software by clicking Uninstall. Reinstall the software with product CD or by downloading the latest Full feature software from the HP Customer Care  (Recommended)."

I don't have the CD anymore so I'm looking for a way to download the software.

If you have any better idea, please help. Thank you.

Welcome to the HP User Community.

 

This printer appears to have been introduced around 2003.

 

The printer does not support the HP Smart application.

 

The Full Feature Software is no longer offered for this printer in category Software and Drivers

 

Instead you are directed to install the built-in Windows drivers.

HP printer setup (Windows built-in driver)

 

Windows print drivers provide for basic print function - no scan.

 

The HP Print and Scan Doctor cannot understand "no drivers available for the printer".

The doctor might fail, balk, offer false advice, try and fail.

In other words, the Doctor cannot help.

 

 

If you can find no other options, this company specializes in Scan software for unsupported printers.
