HP PSC 1215 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Hi, everyone!

 

I've searched the internet, but I cannot find drivers for my old printer HP PSC 1215 All-in-One to install it on Windows 10.

There is no download available on the official support website either.

Could anybody help me find or email me the needed software, please?

The device (printer-scanner-copier) is detected but is not installed properly, the error box says the driver is missing.

 

Many thanks.

Thank you for your prompt reply, Bernard.

Sorry to say, however, as I have stated in my post, I've already explored this page on the official support website whose link you've provided hereabove, and, unfortunately, they only offer downloading of HP Smart Doctor program, not the missing drivers and software for HP PSC 1215, which I've already tried to use and which doesn't solve my problem.

I've seen certain people on this forum had supplied their personal resources to help, but it was long time ago, and the links have already expired. I'm looking forward for somebody's assistance of this kind.

Many thanks again.

Thank you very much for your help, FerRX.

I've downloaded the driver and am going to try to install it as soon as possible. I'll let you know later if it worked properly.

Many thanks to you again!

Hi, FerRX!

I started the driver immediately after having downloaded it. The set of programs was successfully installed. Unfortunately, the printer could not be still seen. I tried to repeat the procedure of connecting it on different days with different ways of sequencing the plugging steps, but it didn't help. So, I've given up the attempts. However, the good thing is that another scanner application (by Microsoft) started recognizing the device, which it previously hadn't. Therefore, I can at least use that scanning app now.

If someday someone offers me the solution exactly for my HP PSC 1215, maybe, it would make my printer-scanner-copier work properly as it should with its original brand software, I hope. In the meanwhile, it is what it is. Anyway, it somehow works, and it's a tremendous step forward!

I'm grateful for your assistance. Have a great week ahead!

Hi @NataliDali ,

 

Great 😊, ok, so your first question about "Looking for drivers for PSC 1215" is already solved.

 

Now, the second question about the USB connection.

 

Sometimes the USB cable has some failures, and just need to check with another cable.

 

If you have the option to change, please change the USB cable to make sure that is not the cause for the printer detection.

 

Verify you are using a USB 2.0 cable.
