Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

It looks like others have faced similar issues when trying to download software for the HP Smart Tank 581. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

 

1. Check HP’s Official Download Page

  • Visit HP’s support page for the Smart Tank 580 series.
  • Ensure you're selecting the correct operating system (Windows 10 64-bit).

2. Disable VPN or Proxy

  • If you're using a VPN, disconnect it before attempting the download.
  • Some HP downloads may not work properly when routed through a VPN.

3. Try a Different Browser

  • Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge instead of your default browser.
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies before retrying.

4. Use HP Easy Start
