Hi @Toasterwoman 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Thanks for checking compatibility upfront—Windows 7 support has become increasingly limited, especially with newer printer models. However, there are still several HP printers that can work reliably with Windows 7, provided the correct drivers are available.

If you already have a specific model in mind, I can help verify its compatibility and locate the correct driver. Let me know what kind of printing you need—basic documents, photos, wireless printing—and I’ll narrow it down further.

If my response helped, please mark it as an Accepted Solution! ✅ It helps others and spreads support. 💙 Also, tapping "Yes" on "Was this reply helpful?" makes a big difference! Thanks! 😊

Take care, and have an amazing day!

Regards,

Hi Hawks

Thanks for your reply and it's awesome.

My printer is an HP Envoy Series 6000 All in One.  I actually got it running again by doing some troubleshooting.  I took our the cartridges (which were new) and made sure they were properly installed.  Then I did the deep cleaning and realignment. Test printed and it worked like a dream  It's never been super fast, but a decent speed for general home use.

You made me realize that I have no idea when I last updated my drivers.  Any way for me to check?

I'm 81 and I've been working on computers since 1963 when they ran on ticker tape.  I've reached the point where I just plain prefer to stick with a lot of the old stuff.  It happens to all of us.

First off, hats off to you—working with computers since 1963? That’s legendary! From ticker tape to troubleshooting ink cartridges, you’ve seen it all. I love that you’re still hands-on and keeping your tech in shape.

Checking Your Printer Driver Version on Windows 7: Here’s how you can check if your HP Envy 6000 driver is up to date:

Open Device Manager

• Press Windows + R, type devmgmt.msc, and hit Enter
• Expand the Printers or Print queues section
• Right-click your HP Envy 6000 and choose Properties

View Driver Details

• Go to the Driver tab
• You’ll see the Driver Version and Driver Date listed there

Compare with Latest Version

• Visit the HP Envy 6000 driver support page
• Check if the version listed there is newer than what you have installed

If it’s outdated, you can download the latest driver directly from HP’s site or use Device Manager to search automatically for updates.

If you’re happy with how the printer’s performing now, there’s no rush to update unless you’re seeing issues. But keeping drivers fresh can help avoid future hiccups.

And by the way, your nickname “Toasterwoman” is delightful. You’ve got style and tech savvy!

Cheers!
