Need Windows 7 Drivers for HP2842e

@DaydayM1, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

HP DeskJet 2842e All-in-One Printer supports from Window 8.1 and Unfortunately, HP does not officially support Windows 7 for this model. 

Please try these steps,
 

Option 1: Use a Universal Print Driver (UPD)

HP offers a Universal Print Driver (UPD) that may work with basic printing functionality.

1. Visit the HP Universal Print Driver page.
2. Select “HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6”.
3. Download and install the driver.
4. During installation, choose “Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname” and enter your printer’s IP address.
   Note: Scanning and advanced features may not work with this method.

Option 2: Use Windows Built-in Drivers

Sometimes, Windows 7 may detect the printer and install a basic driver automatically:

1. Connect the printer via USB.
2. Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a Printer.
3. Let Windows search for available drivers.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
