Product: HP Deskjet 1280
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Have tried the recommended ideas from the forum but cannot find or will not have in the HP inventory used in Add printer any driver s for my HP Deskjet 1280.

Does anyone have a hard copy I could down load . Windows cannot see it even though when plugging it in it says ready to go?? but cant actually see it in the usable printers.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Well, it is a 15 or 16 years old printer. Please download and run following tool

Hope this helps otherwise it's time to buy a new printer.

 

Regards.
