Hi @Michell78,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

The HP Photosmart P1000 is a classic! Since your new laptop lacks a CD-ROM drive, you can still get the software you need by downloading it from HP’s website. Here’s what you can do.

 

Visit HP’s Support Website:

  • Go to the HP Support website.

Search for Your Printer Model:

  • Enter “Photosmart P1000” in the search bar and select your printer from the results.

Select Your Operating System:

  • Choose your laptop’s operating system from the dropdown menu to ensure you get the compatible drivers and software.

Download and Install the Software:

  • Look for the software package or drivers for your printer. Download the file and follow the installation instructions.

Alternative Option:

  • If the specific software is not available, you might find basic drivers that enable printing. For advanced features, you might need to rely on generic printer drivers.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
