Download HP Printer Drivers (Manually)

Using the HP Support site, update your HP printer driver.

Step 1: You'll need some information about your printer (Product Name & Model ID, and what is your Windows operating system).

Also, depending on the Windows operating system you're running, the instructions below may differ significantly.

Note: To utilize these steps, you must be logged in as an administrator on the computer. There's a good chance you're already logged in as an administrator. You must know the name and password of an administrator account on the computer if you are not logged on with that account.

Step 2: You can then go to the HP support website when you've discovered these items on your printer for step 1.

Step 3: The Printer Drivers section can be found by navigating the HP Support site.

Step 4: You'll need to search for your "HP (your model name)" printer after you've found the correct section of the website.

Step 5: The printer driver page will load if the HP support site correctly locates your printer. After that, you'll need to locate the appropriate driver installation package for your Windows operating system.

Note: On these pages, you may find various download options, such as Firmware, Software-ePrint, Utility-Diagnostic Tools, and ultimately Driver packages (Full or Basic). Choose the suitable HP Printer Driver to install the printer you want to install on your Windows PC.

Step 6: Once the file has been downloaded, locate the.EXE (executable) file you received from HP and right-click or double-click it to start it.

Step 7: The installation should execute and discover your printer; but, this tool may not notify you of future driver updates, and you may need to configure your printer further to get it to work properly.

Remember that Driver Support can keep a record of your HP printer drivers for you as a service, ensuring that you always have the most recent versions.
