Hi @NAN1974,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

For older printers like the HP LaserJet P1006, finding drivers can be a bit tricky, especially if HP no longer officially supports them. However, you can try the following steps to install your printer.

Visit the HP Support Website:

• Go to the HP Support website.
• Enter "HP LaserJet P1006" in the search bar.
• Navigate to the “Drivers & Downloads” section.

Use Compatibility Mode:

• If drivers are no longer available directly from HP, you might find them through other sources or archives.
• Check if HP has released a universal print driver that supports your printer model. Sometimes, these drivers can work with older printers.

Windows Update:

• Windows Update might have a compatible driver. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and check for updates.
• In the "Add a Printer" wizard, Windows may automatically find and install a generic driver for your P1006.

Manually Install a Generic Driver:

• If you can't find the exact driver, you can try using a generic HP LaserJet driver.
• Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a Printer.
• Choose “The printer that I want isn't listed.”
• Select “Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings.”
• Choose “HP” as the manufacturer and select a generic HP LaserJet driver from the list.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
