• The app should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers.

Download Driver from HP Website Again

Try downloading the driver again from the HP website. Ensure you select the correct operating system version (Windows 8.1 64-bit) and download the full feature software and driver package if available.

Additional Tips

• Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the printer.
• Temporarily disable any antivirus or firewall software during the installation process, as they might interfere with the installation.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with installing the HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2876 printer driver on your Windows 8.1 (64-bit) system.
