Hi @WarningU2,

 

Welcome to the HP Community.

 

I understand you are getting a "PnPDriverNotFound" error on your HP Officejet Pro 8000. I will do my best to help.

 

Try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and automatically perform several troubleshooting tasks known to resolve the issue.

 

If you are still recieving the message after running the print and scan doctor, I recommend trying to uninstall, then reinstall the HP software from the HP website.
