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 have an Hp Deskjet wireless printer that is connected (with a USB cord) to my home computer. The printer is also connected wirelessly to my moms laptop. I just got a new laptop after mine broke and can’t figure out how to connect my new laptop with the pre-existing printer
Help please?

You need to install printer on your new laptop to be able to print from laptop.Use installation disc to do it.Disc comes with printer.
