HP Recommended
Product: HP Deskjet 9800
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi all,

 

I am looking for the actual driver download for the old HP Deskjet 9800 printer. Yes, I realize there isn't a W10 driver for this probably. But, I can't find actual drivers for this printer in ANY O/S anywhere. When I go to the download page, it seems to be more worthless than yesterday's New York Times. 

 

Can someone point me to an actual file for whatever the most recent O/S it had drivers for? I'm presuming either W7 or W8 would be the likely culprit.

 

I have to pretend my HP 8600 is the older model because HP, in their infinite wisdom, decided we didn't need to be able to enter custom paper sizes in out printer. Wish I'd known that before I bought the thing. But, that's another long story not worth getting into.

 

In February 2014 I successfully used the 9800 drivers to be able to print my sister's wedding invitations so I know it works. But, I can't find the drivers I downloaded at that point, for whatever reason; and I've reformatted my drive since then. 😞

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Robert
