HP Deskjet 9800 Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there, I have a Deskjet 9800 that I've been using for years, I need to do some maintenance so I downloaded the HP smart app to clean and align the printhead, but is impossible for this app to find my printer, even though is connected and fully functional. 

I know I can do this from the control panel too, under the tool section but I have looked everywhere and cannot find it either. 

Please help

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Unfortunately, HP Smart cannot and will not work with this Retired printer.

 

HP Drivers (assuming there were any left), Documents, and Support are removed by HP after a device is retired.

Is your HP Product “vintage? (Ten years of age or older)

Typically, HP stops supporting consumer products after ten years. Read the policy and find out if your HP device is on the list. “EOL”
