Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

If you have not yet done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

 

In addition to the printer software,

If you have not done so,

Install the HP Smart  Application from the Microsoft Store

 

 

"Computer" does not tell us the Operating System / version you are running.

The printer is supported in recent versions of Windows, including Windows 11.

Printer Software

 

 There are two methods to install the printer software.

 

Easy Start Software is a wrapper that will find and install your printer software – If you want to install the full driver software, you do need to select the "Full Driver" when the option is presented.

 

The Web Pack Installation Package method uses the full driver installation package for your printer.

Method - Use the Easy Start Software to Install HP Smart and / or the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

 

Easy Start Installation Package - Information and Download / Save

 

  • Open  Home Page - HP Easy Start >> Click to open Category Software and Drivers 
  • Download and Save the current version of the Easy Start Software installation package  to install your print software

 

 Easy Start can be used to install your printer software or the HP Smart application.

 

If the HP Smart Application is (already) Uninstalled, Use Easy Start OR Get a new copy of the application from the Microsoft Store

 

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

 

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

 

Method - Use the full Web Pack Installation package to install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

 

Find, Download-Save-Install

 

  • Open your printer Home Page > Support Website   
  • Open Category Software and Drivers > If the Installation package is not listed on the mail level, check in sub-category Software-Utility
  • The title  of the package might include the words “Full Feature”, “Full Solution”, “Print and Scan Driver”, or similar wording.
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

 

Full Feature Software - Web Pack Installation Package for your printer - Windows - Information and Download

HP ENVY 4520 series Print and Scan Driver and Accessories 

 

 

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.

 

Continuing...

  • 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 Web Pack 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
