Just refurbished and put net cartridges into my obsolete Deskjet J4680, and now cannot find the full feature driver download anywhere. Does anyone have it or can point me to a link for it? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I have installed the Windows driver HP Officejet J4680 Series version 61.73.264.31 and printing is now active over wireless. However, how do I manage to get a scan driver installed so that I can associate it with the Microsoft SCAN application? I have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and tried to fix scan, but it errors out saying that there was a device manager problem. I have no errored devices in device manager, so I am assuming that I need some form of scan driver installed in order to proceed with Microsoft SCAN. Do you have any tips on how to get that part working, or does scan only work with a USB connection, not over wireless? Thanks again for getting the printing worked out and for the explanation of why the full featured software is no longer supported.

Hi,

HP Full Feature Software no longer available for your printer, as Flash Technology has retired and no longer supported by the industry, the software no longer works:

You may install a basic driver and use the Microsoft Scan app.

 

For a USB connection you might also be able to install and use the HP Scan Extended software, however any such is not supported and will not work over a network connection:
