Deskjet Review

My uncle is trying to connect all of our laptops to his wireless Deskjet printer but when I go to add printer, in the list of drivers and whatnot, the deskjet series that he has will not show up in the listing. I clicked Windows update and still nothing. Is there a way around this or a way to add the printer where it will connect to the laptop without doing this? He downloaded the driver and software already from the HP website but it wants to do this again within the control panel, if I’m describing that correctly. Any tips?

Yes and it’s not as hard as it sounds.

Just go to the printer’s website and look for a link to the manufacturer’s drivers. Locate the specific model and download that driver software to a flash drive or some portable media. Just used that media to load the drivers onto your laptop.

I just bought a new HP printer (Deskjet Ink Advantage 2010 – K010a). My CD drive isn’t working, so I was thinking, is there a downloadable installer for my printer? Please provide specific details. Thanks!

P.S. My computer has Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit.

you can download the installer from the hp website, all you have to do is type it into google, although if you are not bothered by all the extra useless features that they throw into the program and all you want to do is print, then you should be able to just connect the printer to your computer and it will work. Windows has many printer drivers preinstalled.

Here is a link to the drivers and software to download. (If you want the software)

Good Luck

There was a hp deskjet printer at Walmart on sale and I only have a laptop. Are they able to print things from the laptop?

Most likely Yes. Most, if not all printers have a USB port for connection anymore, so that’s not really the big issue that others seem to think it is. The biggest concern you have to be aware of is if it’s compatible with the operating system you’re using. I.E. if you have Windows 7 or a Mac OS, you need to make sure that the printer has drivers that properly support the operating system that your computer is using, otherwise it will not work or you’ll have to figure out a work-around to try to get it to work correctly.
