Hi @rlm1953,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

The HP DeskJet 2855e does not have any Windows 7 drivers at all. This is not a download issue; it is not supported at all.

Step 1: Understand Why Windows 7 Is Not Supported

Your DeskJet 2855e is an HP+ enhanced printer, which requires:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • HP Smart app
  • An HP account
  • Internet connection

Windows 7 cannot run HP Smart, and therefore cannot use HP+ drivers.
This is not something you can fix with a download; support simply does not exist.

Step 2: Confirm Official Driver Availability

When we check the official HP driver page for the 2855e, the available operating systems are:

  • Windows 8
  • Windows 10
  • Windows 11

Windows 7 does not appear in the list.

Step 3: What You Can Do (Your Options)

Option A: Use a Windows 10 or Windows 11 Computer

This is the simplest path.
Your printer will install normally using HP Smart.
 

Option B: Upgrade Your Windows 7 Computer

If your PC hardware allows, upgrading from Windows 7 → Windows 10 will make your DeskJet 2855e fully compatible.

Windows 10 still supports HP Smart and all HP DeskJet 2855e features.
 

Option C: Print Through Another Device

You can print from:

  • iPhone
  • Android
  • Windows 10/11 laptop
  • macOS

Your Windows 7 PC does not have to be the printing device.
 

**Option 😧 If You Must Stay on Windows 7…

Choose a non‑HP+ printer (no “e” on the model)**
For example:

  • HP DeskJet 2755 (not 2755e)
  • HP DeskJet 4155 (not 4155e)
  • HP OfficeJet 3830
  • HP LaserJet Pro M series

These models still have Windows 7 drivers available.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
