Greetings!

 
Welcome to the HP Community. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries. I have reviewed your post and I understand, there's an issue with the printer installation. 


Appreciate you trying the troubleshooting steps. Don't worry, I'm here to help! 


Let's begin with rebooting the router, printer and the computer and then try these steps -


Solution# 1 Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor -

 

Click here to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor.

 

Solution# 2 Re-install the printer drivers -


1) In the search box, type and open "Uninstall a Program". 
2) Look for HP Printer software. 
3) Right-click to uninstall. 
4) In the search box, type 
and open “Devices and printers”. 
5) In the Devices and Printers, look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose “Delete” or “Remove Device”. 
6) Open the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.  
7) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”). 
8) Click on the "Drivers" tab. 
9) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click “Remove” at the bottom. 
10) Select Ok. 
11) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows. 
12) Close Devices and Printers Once the software and drivers are removed. 
13) Restart the computer. 
14) Download and install the software and drivers from here.


If the issue still persists, try the next solution. 


Solution# 3 Repair system files -

 

1) Close all open programs and apps running in Windows.
2) Search Windows for command, right-click command prompt from the list of search results and then select Run as Administrator.
3) Type 
sfc /scannow in the command prompt, and then press Enter. The Microsoft SFC utility attempts to find and repair any damaged or corrupt files.
4) Try to install the HP driver and software again.

If the error message displays, click Cancel and then continue to the next step.
