Hello everyone,

I am having great difficulty installing HP 7740 printer driver in windows XP, which I still use for some programs.

I read that someone managed to install !!!

as a W8WCA user. how did you do?

I would be infinitely grateful if you help me

I understood that during the driver installation process,

the problem consists in not recognizing the validity of a certificate contained in the driver installation file:

Symantec Class 3 SHA256 Code Signin CA

i don't know how to fix it

hi MarcusC, thanks for your advice,

I'm trying to solve the problem, but I can't do it alone, I don't have enough knowledge to make changes to the WIN XP system to recognize the valid certificate

Hi @Andrea_67,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing an installation issue with your HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-in-One Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

To assist better:

  • Are you the administrator of the PC?
  • Are you able to add the printer to any other PC to check?
  • Any pending updates on your Windows XP OS?

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

 

Update the printer firmware 

 

  • Click here to download and install the latest printer firmware from your product
  • Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

If the issue persists, then try adding a local account on your Windows XP operating system, and then try adding the printer to the PC.

 

If the issue persists then you might have to re-install the operating system once and then try to add the printer.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
