How to Install HP Printer Driver?

Many people face a trouble in the installation process of the HP printer driver and HP is one of those printer manufacturers. The following article will give you an idea on how to install the printer driver on your computer. One great thing about computer technology nowadays is that it evolves faster than ever before, which means that if you’re looking to purchase a new device that doesn’t work with your old operating system, there are more chances these days than ever before to find a solution. The best example of this is the Windows Vista operating system, which has been in the market for three and a half years now for the consumer market and yet many devices still don’t have drivers for it. On the other hand, there are devices that have drivers for Vista but you can’t use them because your old computer doesn’t support them. So what do you do then? Well, if you have a device and are looking to install the printer driver on your computer, here’s how you do it: The user guide will walk you through the installation process, so be sure and follow it carefully. You might need to buy a new printer if you can’t find one with Vista support.




For the most part, printer drivers come pre-installed on Windows 10. If your printer is a recent purchase, or if you have recently upgraded to a Windows 10 computer, then the driver should be installed automatically. If this is not the case though and you are still having trouble installing your printer driver manually in Windows 10 then follows these steps: 1) Use Device Manager to find out which device ID corresponds with that printer. 2) Click in that box to open up System Properties > Devices > Printers and Restorations; make sure “Disable driver signing” is ticked under Advanced settings. 3) Delete all printers from Devices list except for one. 4) Select the refused driver and click on Update Driver. 5) Browse my computer for driver software and then browse to the location where you saved the drivers (drivers saved on your Windows 10 system may not work). 6) Drivers should now be installed.


If this is not successful, try one of these methods:

1) Right-click on My Computer > Properties > Device Manager > Printing devices > right-click on your printer and choose Uninstall.

2) Restart your computer and wait 30 seconds, then right-click on My Computer > Properties > Device Manager > Printing devices > right-click your printer and choose Update Driver Software.

3) Go to https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers and download appropriate driver for your HP printer.

4) Open the downloaded package (for example, hp7100l_series_u100-110_123115.exe) and install the driver from within the package.

5) Reboot your Windows 10 PC and repeat step 6 but this time choose the driver that you installed by clicking on HP7100L_series.exe in step 4 and then selecting Install.

You can also download the latest driver directly from HP website for your device without requiring customer account registration.


If you’re having problems with your HP printer driver, it could be a variety of things. HP printer drivers are occasionally incompatible with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 due to the fact that they need a 16-bit API installed. There’s also the possibility that you’re not installing the right version of the driver for your operating system, or that it’s an update for an existing installation which isn’t working properly. If you’re having troubles installing the driver for your HP printer, then check out some of these tips. First things first make sure you have the latest version of your HP printer driver software downloaded from the vendor’s website. In our case, the vendor is HP it’s worth noting that isn’t only applicable to HP devices though, so even if you’re using a different brand of printer (like Canon or Epson), this tips could be very useful in helping you resolve any issues with installing a new driver!


Remember that HP printer drivers come in two flavors: full and basic. Both are typically compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, but full drivers might not be as compatible as you’d like them to be because they contain a 32-bit driver which is incompatible with current 64-bit versions of Windows.

You should also keep in mind that most HP printer driver installation packages are around 1.4 GB in size, which is about the same size as a disc image (.iso) file. This means you’ll need extra space on your computer’s hard drive to install them if the distribution package was created as an ISO file.

To get the installation package from HP, simply visit this page on their website: HP Download and select your operating system. You’ll then be sent to a page with several different download links for the printer drivers for your device sort the download list by operating system and select your specific version to get started.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of downloading and installing the full printer driver installation package, then you can also visit this page on HP’s website: HP Printer Installations Downloads. This page lists all of the available printer driver installations downloads from HP.

Scroll down the list to find your printer model (if you’re not sure which model is installed on your computer, try running Windows Device Manager by pressing the Windows Start key, typing “Device Manager”, and pressing Enter). Select your model from the list and click on it – this will make it easier for you to scroll down and find a direct download link for your printer driver.


Once you’ve selected your model, click on the driver installation download link. This will send you to a page with a note about how you can download the printer driver for your specific model here. Simply click on the Download button, which will send the file to your Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 PC.

If everything was downloaded without a problem, double-click on it to launch the installation wizard for your HP printer driver. If you get an error message from Windows, like “Windows can’t open this file” or something similar, then make sure that you downloaded the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the printer driver and that it’s compatible with Windows 10 or Windows 8.1.

If you installed the 32-bit software, try downloading and installing the 64-bit printer driver instead. If you’re still having issues with installing your HP printer driver, search for solutions on sites like: Tech Republic, Windows Central, Liliputing or other popular tech communities.

If all else fails and you think that there are any potential solutions on the internet which can help you better install your HP Printer Driver… or if the problem is not fixable at all, then it may be time to start using a different operating system!

Finally under no circumstances should anyone ever simply use a third-party installer for their HP printer driver software – whether it’s for Windows 10/8.1 or any other operating system – unless the vendor of your printer driver tells you that it’s compatible with your computer.

There are many factors which can cause potential problems when using any third-party printer driver software, including third-party drivers that aren’t actually compatible with your computer’s hardware. Any issues that arise from using a third-party printer driver can usually be remedied through a simple uninstallation of the software, assuming you’ve tried everything else above without success first!
