Hi @Kortis_MFPM276

--->In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”

--->Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.

--->Type printui.exe /s and click OK.

--->Click on the Drivers tab.

--->Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click remove at the bottom.

Hi there I followed your instructions and got exactly the same result Return Code 1603.
If I use the driver incuded in W10 the oprinter works and if I download HP SCAN AND CAPTURE the scanner works its a workaround but with low performance

The system account doesn't have full control permissions on the folder you're trying to install Windows Installer package to, so the error comes because the Windows Installer service uses the System account to install the software.

Verify that the Windows Installer service is set to Automatic, to do this follow the steps below:

a. Click Start, type services.msc in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.

b. In the Services list, double-click Windows Installer.

c. In the Windows Installer Properties dialog box, click Automatic in the Startup type list.

d. Click Start, click Apply, and then click OK.

e. Start the software installation.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi there I followed your instructions 100% but no luck. Windows Installer Properties dialog box, "click to change to Automatic" is not a choice and yes Im running services.msc as Admin . I checked  for errors but no errors found. I think my  Win 10 P is a Mr Bean version. Im going to reinstall Win 10 from slightly older verson than the current one, I think it will do the trick! 

[Jay_G24]

That sounds good, please keep me posted!

[Kortis_MFPM276]

I installed win 10 P ver 2004 and got the same problem I tried Win 10 P 1903 and it worked just fine even after upgradee to ver 2004 th only issue is that the scanner softw Scan and caprure is a toy compaired to HP scan that aren included in the new HP driver! but its ok it is an old unit so soon its end of life time

[Jay_G24 · Accepted solution]

yes, as the printer is old it does not support the applications we have currently.

But, i am glad you are able to scan.

If you need further assistance feel free to reach out to us.

Have a great day ahead!
