Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

There might be more than one issue -

 

First, make sure the printer is able to print

Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

 

For example, IF the issue is only due to the printer software needing to be reloaded,

(then)

Step 1: Reinstall the print driver (Windows only)

 

What else?

Complete the steps in the order found in the troubleshooting document.

 

============================================

 

Details / How to Reload the full driver printer software

 

Uninstall / Reload the Full Driver printer software

 

 

If the printer is accepted on the network...

 

  • Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
  • Restart the computer and sign in.
  • Install a fresh copy of the Full Feature Software

 

Uninstall Any Existing Printer Software (Full Feature Software)

 

Uninstall HP printer software and drivers

 

 

Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features >

Find / Select > Uninstall the printer software

Restart the computer and sign  in

 

Reminder

Windows > Uninstall HP printer software > Restart.

Next,

Open Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers

Check > If the printer is found, Right-Click and Remove the printer

If you have to "remove" the printer, next:  Restart the computer and sign in

 

 

NOTE:  If software will not uninstall, appears to be removed and is “still hanging around” after you uninstall / Restart...

Microsoft:  Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed

OR

then

Restart the computer and sign in

 

======================================================

 

Printer Software

 

Next,

Install a fresh copy of the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

Restart the computer and log in

 

Printer Software - Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

 

Installation Package - Information and Download / Save

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software 

 

 

 

Easy Start can be used to install your printer software.

 

If you want to install the full driver printer software, choose the "Full Software and Drivers" option during the installation procedure.

 

Basic Instructions - Install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

 

Preparation

 

  • If the printer software is still / already installed, Uninstall the printer software  from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > Restart the computer and log in – Reference Uninstall HP printer software and drivers

 

After the printer software is uninstalled, check that the printer is not still lurking in Devices and Printers

 If the printer is listed, Right-Click on the printer and "Remove" > Restart the computer and sign in.

 

  • If using VPN, shut it off to install software.  NOTE >> If you don’t know what this is, you are not using a VPN – ignore this part.

 

  • Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.  Later... Connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation procedure).

 

  • Observation:  It is possible (assuming your Wireless Network is stable) that using a Wireless connection to install the printer software might work better than using an Ethernet Connection.   Personal choice - the Wireless connection method is recommended when you face insurmountable issues installing the software.

 

 

Installation

  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software
  • Open File Explorer
  • Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
  • Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

 

If using Easy Start

  • Skip any extra software / offers you do not want – Wording varies as does the number of times you have to “skip” or opt-out of various options.
  • When asked, opt for "Full Software and Drivers" (exact wording might vary).
  • Easy_Start_Full_Driver_2Easy_Start_Full_Driver_2
  • If, after the Full Software and Drivers option is selected, the installation terminates (suddenly stops and disappears – never comes back): Open your Downloads folder > Look for and Right-Click on the full Web installation package and “Run as Administrator

Printer Software - Windows

There are parts to the Printer Software:

Examples

  • HP Smart application - supports printing and scanning PDF and Photos / Images.  HP Smart is supported in many regions and on many newer networked printers - The app is available from the  Microsoft Store .  HP Smart requires that you sign in using your HP Account credentials.  HP Smart benefits when the full driver printer software is also installed.
  • HP Smart Printing – Where supported, “Smart Printing” is an option in the printer list when choosing the Printer to be used for the current job setup.  Example:  Open Printer (list – top left of menu) > Select HP Smart Printing   -- Note – HP Smart Printing supports Custom Presets (Custom Shortcuts)
  • HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in other software and programs (for example, Word), and access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver printer software includes HP Scan.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.  No Sign-in required.
