Subject: Unable to Download Driver and Connect HP DeskJet 5275 Printer to PC
Message:
Hello,
I am having trouble downloading the driver for my HP DeskJet 5275 printer. Every time I try, the website redirects me to the HP Smart app, which does not respond or complete the installation.
Additionally, I am unable to connect the printer to my computer via USB or Wi-Fi because the driver installation does not complete successfully.
Could you please help me with a direct download link for the driver or provide instructions to install the printer without using the HP Smart app?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Best regards,
Barak
