When I search for new HP element in HP Support Advisor it does not find my HP Deskjet 5150. This means I can not reach the toolbox for the printer. Windows did find the printer instantly. Has anybody experienced this problem? Solution?

Hey @Jay0079,
Welcome to HP Forums and Thanks for the post.
I understand that you are trying to use HP Support Advisor and it is unable to find your printer. Happy to help.
Have you tried any other HP printer utilities?
The solution center is bundled with full feature software for your printer.
However, there is no full feature software available for your printer as your computer is running on Windows 10.
The full feature software for your printer is only available for computers running on Windows XP. Click here for the driver's page of your printer.
As full feature software is not available for your printer as your computer is running on Windows 10, you will need to use Windows built-in driver. Click here to know more about the workaround.
