Had to rebuild pc. Printer had on the previous pc build worked fine with full HP print driver. After rebuild (was a clean rebuild) I can't get the HP full driver 15.0.15309.1315 to install. Windows 10 does load the Microsoft driver and it prints but there is no scan software in that so trying to use HP's software. I tried using a 2nd new user acct with no help. Tried the Print & Scan doctor software from HP. No help.
Suggestions appreciated.
Forgot to mention the error I get during installation:
"A problem occurred while preparing to install software to your system. Please restart...."

Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I recommend you root uninstall the printer and then reinstall it and check if it helps.
Here is how it is done.
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.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

I recommend you disable the Antivirus program and the firewall or any other security program installed on the computer and then try to install the printer and check.
Also, try installing the printer on a different computer and check.
