Officejet pro 9015e
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a new computer that I am trying to install the Officejet pro 9015e printer on a windows 10 64-bit machine. I open the HP Smart application to install the driver. This is the only method I can find to install the software and driver. The "Welcome to HP Smart" screen just sits and spins and never lets me continue to start the install. 

 

I am not able to find the web page that will let me download the full product software and drivers for this printer. The website only shows me the HP Smart program to install the printer and software. Please help me.

==============================================================

 

Normally, I'd think installing using HP Smart would work - the printer supports this.

That said, you can install the Full Feature Software and then go back to see if HP Smart will cooperate.

 

Try / Consider:

 

If you have not done so, download-save-install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver for the printer

 

If using USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable.

 

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers 

  • Download-and-Save the printer software (Full Feature Software / HP Smart / Easy Start)
  • Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
  • Reminder:  If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver

 

  About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full" driver set (as opposed to the basic driver).

 

If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the last part of the driver installation)

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

 

Full driver provides print and scan functions (even if HP Smart proves to be stubborn).
