Need Driver Software Deskjet F4280

[Braska]

Copied this from another user, as the SAME thing is happening, but the link to the driver in their answer from someone no longer works when I tried to use that one....

"I have a printer on loan from a friend (My case I bought from a neighbor who was moving as mine DIED literally the day before I asked in the FB Group if anyone had one I could use or borrow*).

Don´t have any software for it. I have Windows Windows 10 Home, version 20H2. Trying to find a driver for the printer. Used HPEasyStart_13_6_5 and it finds the printer HP Deskjet F4200 series (although it says F4280 on the printer). Recommends HP Smart.

Launching HP Smart: pressing “add printer”, it starts searching for printers but cant find one. Yes, its plugged in and powered on (nothing changed after HP Easystart found the printer without problems). Pressing “search again”, asks which type of printer are you trying to find: I select “USB printer”, it searches again, can´t find the printer.

Print and Scan Doctor says “the full software solution for your product is not installed on this computer”. Which I already know because that’s what I´m trying to achieve. Unless I need another software besides the one including the driver.  It says “Get installer”, I press it. Result: “Page not found”.

Virtual agent mentions also “HP software”. Should there be software other than the including the driver?

What to do next?

Hi @Braska,

 Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

HP Deskjet F4280 All-in-One Printer driver for windows 10 is not available from the HP website. However, you can install the printer using windows built-in drivers

HP Smart app is not compatible with your printer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

This didn't work.  It was what I originally tried before I came here to do the HP Smart and 123 site suggestions 😞  It can't find the printer, no matter what I do or how I try to search, disconnect, reconnect, power on/off, etc...  It'll pop saying "Unknown Printer" and "driver not available"  when I plug in the USB cable to my MSI Laptop as it auto-installs it, but it won't print or do anything. .

The printer is not compatible with the HP Smart.

HeyJay,  It doesn't help, as I already found that out, and still can't find a way to get the drivers needed to make it work with my MSI Laptop and Windows 10, no matter what I do trying to get it to install on my PC with "install printer" steps for the laptop's auto- install and manual install processes. 

Where can I just grab a digital download copy of the driver?

We do not have drivers available for your printer.

You can install the printer using windows built-in drivers

Hope this helps

Keep me posted!
