I just setup my new LaserJet MFP M234dw. It is listed in my computers devices and the computer tells me that it is 'ready' but the printer does not appear in the dialog box when I try to print a PDF. It is shown in Devices and Printers but with a yellow (Troubleshoot) exclamation point. When I click on 'Properties'  the message: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) appears. I did use the HP Smart App for the setup. What is causing the drivers not to install? How can I get them installed? Thanks.

Hi Rainbow23,

 

Thank you for you reply. Prior to receiving it I updated my Windows 1o which resolved the issue. The drivers installed and the printer is up and running. Thanks again.
