Hi @Gordw123,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The error message HPSU-0004 usually indicates an issue with the HP Software Update tool. The file sp34261.exe is a specific software or driver update provided by HP.

 

To download the file sp34261.exe for your HP Photosmart D7160 printer, follow these steps.

 

Visit the HP Support Website:

  • Go to the HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads page.

Identify Your Printer:

  • In the search box, type "HP Photosmart D7160" and select your printer model from the dropdown list.

Select Your Operating System:

  • Choose your operating system from the list provided (e.g., Windows 10, Windows 7, etc.).

Locate the Driver or Software:

  • Look for the driver or software update that matches sp34261.exe. This might be listed under "Utility - Diagnostic Tools" or "Software - Utility".

Download and Install:

  • Once you locate sp34261.exe, download the file and run it to install the update.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
