I cannot install Photosmart D7460 which is on my LAN, Windows10 Printer Install does not find it. However, I can see the Printer and log into it from Firefox using its local IP adress. Also, I can print on D7460 from my Macbook Air and iMac.

 

HP Print and Scan Doctor 5.2 does not help reslove the problem and Windows install cannot find a digitally signed driver in the Hewlet Packard list of printers. I need a driver for Photosmart D7460 and also clear instructions on how to install as I am not Win10 savvy.

 

Thanks for all help.
