Hi.  I have never posted to a community before. 
I am not sure how I am going to know if anyone responds.

 

I got a new computer with Windows 10.

I down loaded the driver https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-pro-m1212nf-multifunction-printer-serie...

This program extracted and then did nothing.

Then I go to Printers and Scanners systems settings.

It finds the printer but says that it cant get the driver.

 

I found
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04658195
which lists which printers are compatible with Windows 10.
hp-laserjet-pro-m1212nf-multifunction-printer-
Is not listed.

 

I found the page

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Software-and-Drivers/M1212nf-MFP-full-software-install-fails-o...

I did its long list of things to do.


Any thoughts?
Change operating systems?
I dont want to buy a new printer! I like my printer.
Thanks Jeff  [edit]

Read this thread carefully and follow what Jack says. You should be able to get it working.  It worked for me.

This solved my problem. Thank you @

I had the exact same problem as Mark above after installing Win 10 clean on two machines and dowloading the indicated .exe.  Scanning was not working on either.  Turns out the issue is that that software does not install drivers for the scanner, duh!?!

 

Issue was solved following this suggestion  , which installs the drivers and the old Scan-To software.

 

"Click the Start button and type %temp% into the search bar, then open the shown Temp folder.

Open the latest HP installation folder which begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
Double click HpSetup.exe, follow the installation and check for any difference."

 

You guys are useless.

My printer is on a wired Ethernet segment too.  Just read and follow Jack's suggestions above and it should work for you too.

Holy Jesus, this was the simple answer after I lost two days of my life struggling with this very issue?

 

Quick question?  Why is technology going backwards?  These things used to be simple and did not cost me days and weeks of anguish and stewing in seething, boiling, cauldron of rage.

I suspect HP would rather we go buy new MFPs rather than continue using old ones...

I was just given this printer by my parents, which worked great for them.  After calling HP Tech support, I was told this printer no longer works with Windows 10, which is what I have.  Isn't there some way around this?  It's a perfectly great printer!

My  M1212nf MFP is now working on Windows 10.

I down loaded and double clicked on the the driver from HP.
Nothing happened and the printer still did not work.

Then my friend noticed that if I went to the file browser under "this computer"

along with C: drive and such was something that looked like a new drive but was the printer driver.
Clicking on that made it all work.

Good luck Jeff

I do like the printer.
