Hi @FirmamentBlue,
This error shows up when Windows rejects the driver package, usually because of leftovers from a previous installation or because the installer didn't run with administrator rights.
- Uninstall any HP printer software in Settings > Apps and remove the printer from Printers & scanners.
- Press Win+R, type printui /s > Drivers tab, remove the HP drivers and restart.
- Download the installer again from your model's page at support.hp.com, right-click it > "Run as administrator", with the printer disconnected until the installer asks for it.
Exact driver:
