Product: OfficeJet j4680
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm trying to d/l this simple OfficeJet scan and print driver.  

HP directs me to search for "HP Officejet Basic Print and Scan Driver".  
That search returns a 404 error.

Can anyone provide a link to d/l this simple driver?

 

Thank you!   

Brian

Sorry, that's not it.  This is the link to the Full Featured download.  

I don't need bloatware, OCR, and advice to buy HP cartridges, thank you.

Does anyone have the link to download the 

HP Officejet Basic Print and Scan Driver?

 

Thank you,

Can't find them.

 

Just don't install those options.  Easy.

Thanks for the workaround.   Honestly, this is what we expect from HP.

HP directs us to search for something that doesn't exist, and we get a 404 error.

These printers have been around for many years, and HP still can't get such a simple thing right.

Maybe the web page forgot to be updated.   Looks like HP has dropped the basic drivers from a lot of printers opting for the Full Featured set with options to not install.
