Hi @beautifull24,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

To connect your HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One printer to a Windows 10 desktop, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Printer

• Ensure your HP 5610 printer is turned on.
• Make sure it has paper loaded and ink cartridges installed.
• If you're connecting via USB, have a USB cable ready.

2. Install the Printer Software

You can install the necessary drivers and software by downloading them from the HP Support website or using Windows Update.

Option 1: Using HP Support Website

• Visit the HP Support website.
• Enter your printer model (HP Officejet 5610) in the search bar.
• Go to the Drivers & Downloads section.
• Download the latest drivers and software for Windows 10.
• Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

Option 2: Using Windows Update

• Connect your printer to the desktop using a USB cable.
• Windows 10 should automatically detect the printer and install the necessary drivers.
• If it doesn't, you can manually check for drivers:
  • Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
  • Go to Devices > Printers & scanners.
  • Click on Add a printer or scanner.
  • If Windows detects your printer, select it and click Add device.

3. Manually Add the Printer

If Windows does not automatically detect your printer, you can add it manually:

• Open Settings by pressing Windows key + I.
• Go to Devices > Printers & scanners.
• Click on Add a printer or scanner.
• Wait for it to search, and if it doesn't find your printer, click on The printer that I want isn't listed.
• Select Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings and click Next.
• Choose Use an existing port (usually USB001) and click Next.
• Click on Have Disk and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver from the HP Support website.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
