Officejet 8620
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm trying to install the Full featured HP Officejet 8620 Windows 10 64bit software that I just downloaded.

The printer is connected via Ethernet at a static IP address.

When I run the HP software installer it does find the printer at the correct IP address.  When I select the printer it found and select next it says it can't find the printer.

I have the firewall turned off.  I have my Antivirus Bitdefender turned off.

I can ping the printer IP address.

This computer is a dual boot with Windows 7.  Windows 7 has the HP software installed and it's been running fine for years.

I have tried to uninstall the HP software but there is nothing in Programs and Features with the HP 8620.

I have cleaned out all temp files before trying to install the HP software.

What can I do to get the HP software installed?

Hi,

Try uninstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8620 Basic Device Software using the Microsoft Uninstall Troubleshooter below:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-r...

 

Note: the installation may take a bit linger using the utility, allow it some time, it may take 10-20 minutes.

I ran the MS uninstaller.  I also removed a bunch of folders and a bunch of registry entries.  I can't figure out why it won't connect.
