Hello @abcdefxxx, Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community. 

 

We understand that you would like to install your HP Deskjet 2955 All-in-One Printer on a computer running Windows Vista.

 

Windows Vista is now an obsolete operating system, and HP does not provide a dedicated Windows Vista software or driver package for the HP DeskJet 2955. On HP's official DeskJet 2955 driver page, the currently listed Windows options are Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11. 

 

HP DeskJet 2955 All-in-One Printer Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
 

You may try the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows as a possible alternative:

HP Universal Print Driver for Windows - PCL 6 Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
 

Please keep in mind that because Windows Vista is no longer supported for this printer, the Universal Print Driver may or may not install or function correctly with the HP Deskjet 2955. Even if basic printing works, features such as scanning, printer status, ink-level monitoring, or other HP software functions might not be available.
 

We recommend avoiding third-party driver download websites and using only software obtained directly from HP or Microsoft, especially when working with an older operating system.
 

For the most reliable functionality with the HP Deskjet 2955, we recommend using a currently supported Windows operating system for which HP provides the appropriate printer software and drivers. 

 

Have a great day!

I'm an HP Employee.
