Hello, when I plugged in my old printer to my laptop which has Windows 7 on it. It says that the driver wasn't found. I tried finding the driver download on here, but could only find one that was compatable with old versions of Windows can someone help me locate a windows 7 compatable version?

Try looking for an HP Universal driver for your type of machine, i.e. Deskjet. Install it in compatibility mode for either (first choice) Windows 7 or Windows XP.

 

This worked for me. No HP driver available for my printer compatible with Windows 8.

@eddie0901, have you tried downloading from the website?

 

You can try to download an alternative driver (Deskjet 990c) and it should work for you. 

 

(Shane_R) has a great post on how to download it.

Hello jordanyHD, Welcome to the Forums!

 

I just came across your post and noticed you are looking for drivers for your Deskjet 5900 series printer.

 

As I am unsure of which exact printer you have, I am not able to see if the driver is available for Windows 7. If you wish to respond with your model number, I will gladly check for you!

 

 

Please click this link and type in your printers exact Model Number to see if there are available drivers for your specific printer model.

Take care,
