Not being able to download is usually something going on in Windows.

The source for the download does not include any restrictions on downloading the printer software.

 

What to do?

Check your Browser and / or system security to make sure your security software is not blocking downloads.

Or

Simply try a different browser.

Or

Ask a friend to log into his device using your network and check whether he has the problem.  If yes, check your router logs to help determine whether your network is blocking access to certain IPs / domains.

 

What else?

Unlikely, because you'd know if you'd changed anything,

Check Settings > Privacy

 

When you can overcome the block / issue,

Find / Install your printer software and the HP Smart application for your printer.

 

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

 

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

 

  • Home Page - HP Easy Start 
  • Open Category Software and Drivers 
  • Topic: Software-Utility 
  • Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
  • If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.
  • Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
  • Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
  • If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

 

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

 

  1. 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 or other application).

 

  1. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.

 

  1. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.

 

  1. Full driver provides print and scan functions supported by your printer.
