"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.

Windows found the driver for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

One of the installers for this device cannot preform the installation at this time."


And under DEVICE MANAGER printer was added under OTHER DEVICES and the QUESTION mark is above it.

Welcome to the HP Community @Hp970cxi,

 

I saw your post about your Deskjet 970cxi not functioning with Windows 10. I have checked out the supported printers and drivers for Windows 10, and this unit can only be installed with the Windows Update driver here: Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver

 

If the unit will not connect and print, you may need an upgraded unit to work with the newer OS (Windows 10). If you wish to contact HP to see what your options are, I will leave their contact info below.

 

You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, and the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows to see if they can help you print.
