I have uninstalled and re-installed the software/driver a few times. Even after the process says completed, my system says "Driver is Unavailable."

I followed the instructions step by step and the printer still showed "Offline". 

I then turned off security and firewall protection and repeated the complete process.

Result was still the same: The software installs but status remains "Offline".

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to check connectivity

Download HP Print and Scan Doctor.

  1. Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.

  2. Once HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click Start, and then select your printer.

    • If your printer in not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.

    • If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.

  3. If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.

  4. If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.

  5. Try to print.

Assign manual IP address and that should fix the issue.

1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, touch ( Setup ).

2. Touch Reports .

3. Select network configuration report.

 

Setting a Static IP Address

Once you know your printer’s IP address, entering it is pretty easy. Here’s what you do:

HP Printer Static IP Address

  1. Run your Web browser.
  2. In the Web browser’s address bar, type the IP address of your printer and press Enter. Assuming you entered the right address, the HP printer control panel should appear.
  3. Click the Networking tab.
  4. Under Connections, click Wireless.
  5. Under IP Address Configuration, click Manual IP.
  6. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the appropriate boxes.
  7. Click Apply.

I'm having the same issue after recent updates.

I have tried editing the registry-based on a previous forum but had no luck. Is there another driver I can install and try like a PS driver? I have tried all of the previously stated options in this post but had no luck. The printer already has a static IP.

Sorry, Forgot to mention that this is set up as a wireless printer. No physical connection between printer and router.  The scanner works !? but I cannot get printing to work. I've removed the drivers and tried reinstalling but no luck.
