Product: HP Deskjet 6540 Color Inkjet Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Deskjet 6540 Color Inkjet Printer that works with Windows 7 and earlier, but I want to install it on a Windows 10 computer.  I tried using the installation CD that came with the printer, but the installation was aborted because of incongruous system requirements.  Is there a workaround for this?  I know HP would be thrilled to sell me a new printer, but I like this printer, and it is fine for my needs.

Hi,

Your printer is provided with a Built-In Windows Update driver for Windows 10, you should not use the original CD which was made much prior to Windows 10.

 

Please follow below steps to install your printer on a Windows 10 PC:
