         Hello sisyphus715,

 

You will have to uninstall and install the new full HP driver:

 

            My Tutorial : (1)

 

Uninstall the old driver in Control Panel, "Programs and Features", then remove

all occurrences related to your printer name, in Program and X86 Program, and then in

configuration, right click on your old printer (If it's still there, chances are it's not there anymore)

''Delete'' if present.

Restart the PC, connect the printer to the mains, connect a USB cord on the PC side, on the printer you

will connect during installation ONLY when prompted.

Start installing your printer, by right-clicking on the Setup. downloaded driver exe, installed ''en

as administrator'', OK, let the installation take place, at the end of the installation,    restart the PC.

To create a shortcut on the Windows desktop, open Control Panel, right-click on your

new printer, create shortcut, on the desktop, yes.

A new shortcut has been created on the Windows desktop.

Go to the desktop, click on this new shortcut, to open the new operation menu of your printer.

Turn on your printer, print a test page.

That's it, your printer is working again.

                                    Excellent Day.
