Unable to reinstall printer, need help

Hi @Kristy64,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be glad to help you! 

 

I understand how frustrating it can be when you're unable to reinstall your printer. Let's try to narrow down the issue.

 

  • What error message, if any, do you see when attempting to reinstall the printer?
  • Are you trying to install the printer using a USB connection or wirelessly?
  • Have you previously uninstalled the printer and restarted the computer before attempting to reinstall?

 

Try the steps below

 

  • Try restarting both your computer and the printer before attempting the installation again.
  • Ensure you have the latest printer drivers and software from the HP website for your printer model.
  • If reinstalling via USB or Wi-Fi isn't working, try using the HP Smart app to set up the printer.

 

Keep me posted for further assistance
