HP ENVY 6020 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi o have tried EVERYTHING I know how and yet my printer will not connect to my computer due to a missing Driver. My printer is HP Envy 6020 (no touch screen) and the computer runs windows 7.

 

The error I am getting is attached:

I have tried downloading all the drivers listed for this printer from hp. The only thing I have not tried is connecting it via cable, I've been trying to get wireless set up. I need to find the cable to try that.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

Root level uninstall and reinstall printer drivers: 

  • Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Envy printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device. 
  • Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
  • Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
  • Again, go to run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files. 

Re-install printer Basic drivers from the link: Click here

If the issue still continues, install using Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver: Click here
 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
