I realize my printer is a dinosaur but I love my dinosaur!  Unfortunately I can no longer access the Solution Center where I would access the option of Print to File.  To compound matters, I no longer have the disk that came with the printer.  Is there any way to access the Print to File option without reinstalling from the actual disk?  Probably a silly question!

Good News - the Full Feature Software is still available for your dinosaur.

 

HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver 

 

If the printer software is still installed (but stopped working),

  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software to your computer.
  • Uninstall the existing printer software from Programs and Features
  • Restart the computer and log in

 

  • Open File Explorer
  • Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
  • Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

 

Consider:

Dinosaurs, with very rare exceptions, tend to disappear.

 

Consider downloading and saving your User Guide (located in Category Manuals)

 

Check and download anything else that catches your eye that is unique (Category Product Information > Specifications )

 

What else?

 

Consider downloading a few / couple of the documents in
