Printer was working fine. Now says "driver unavailable" I have uninstalled several times and reinstalled. Keeps doing the same thing. I've wasted hours trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

@Charlesf1, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand you are not able to print. Install the printer using the TCP/IP port:

  1. On the PC, go to Control panel > Devices and printers > Remove the existing printer entry > click on Add a printer(at the top) 
  2. Under 'Choose a device or printer', click on 'The printer I want isn't listed'.
  3. Select 'Add a printer using a TCP/IP address'
  4. Find the IP address of the printer by tapping on the wireless/ethernet icon on the printer screen
  5. Type in the 'IP address in Hostname or IP address' box, click next
  6. Proceed to the next steps by following the on-screen instructions.
  7. Try printing.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

@DanutaS, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Did you install the printer using its IP address as mentioned in my previous post?

 

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and fix any driver issue

Click here to download the file. Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and click on 'Fix printing'.

If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.

 

Use the HP Smart app to print and scan from your Win 10 PC

Click here to download and know more about the app.

 

Let me know how it goes.
