Hi @lindylou7,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are looking for a patch/driver for your HP Deskjet 2050 for Windows 8. I am happy to take a look for you!
I believe the driver you are looking for can be downloaded from this website, Software and Drivers. Or, you can use the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows, that will download the proper software for your printer automatically.
Hope this is what you are looking for, and have a great day!

Reloaded driver for printer

Reloaded driver for printer, on HP set up assistant asks for USB(I use) or TCP/IP network; keeps displaying no devices found. what can I do?

Microsoft Word will not print. Everyother program does print fine. I have reloaded Word and the print driver for my printer. How do I get Word to print?
Did you make sure the printer was the default printer and also did you check to see if the printer was listed for one of your printer options?

Help! Patch needed for printer? Print function crashing programs...

I've had a HP PSC 2410 (an all-in-one) for a few years now--carried over from my PC days. When I got my Powerbook I installed the print-only driver from the HP website and have printed without incident. A couple of days ago I downloaded a driver for this printer which I believed would allow me all of my functionality but the installer has never run properly as my printer does not show up on the list available (none do) so I am unable to complete the guided walk-through. My printer is hooked up to my Airport Express. I have, under limited circumstances, been able to print occasionally since I've downloaded this new driver. More often than not however, whatever program I'm using and trying to print from crashes. Any ideas? I once spoke with an Apple employee who told me I could use this printer but would need a patch, I never thought about it again until this has been happening... Anyone know of such a patch and where to find it? Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You don't need the Bing bar for smart print any longer. I'm using IE9 and have uninstalled the Bing bar.

Can't find driver for printer

I have an HP PSC 750 connected to an airport express base station. It shows up in the printer browser when I click the add printer button (it says Bonjour under the connection type). However, under the 'print using' drop menu it won't auto select a driver and I've tried several HP drivers that were in the list and they did not work correctly (I just got pages of random letters and numbers when I tried to print). So I installed the software from the HP website and if I connect the printer directly to the computer this works fine. However, not with airport express - the HP setup assistant has a thing that searches for the printer and it can find it when connected directly to the computer (USB) but it can't find it on airport (it has a TCP/IP option for typing in the network address of the printer but I'm not sure what that would be or if thats even applicable to this case). So I guess my question is: Can I even use this software with the printer on airport or do I need to do something else?
Thanks very much for any help!

henry, i've noticed you've solved several users' problems printing over airport. i'm hoping you can solve mine: i have a g5 imac running os v10.4.2 which cannot seem to print via airport express' usb to an hp color laserjet 2600n. when i run printer setup utility there is no driver selectable for the 2600n (however there is when it's connected directly to the imac via usb). when i select a generic hp color laserjet driver, the 2600n shows up via bonjour in my print dialog box, but nothing ever prints. meanwhile, my g4 powerbook running v10.3.9 can print to the 2600n over airport with no problems (and its printer setup sees a driver for the 2600n via rendezvous). i've contacted hp support and they've deemed it an airport issue. any clues? thanks!

I was having trouble printing from my Macbook Pro to my HP Photosmart 5510 printer, so removed the printer and then tried to re-install the driver from the HP site. I go through the process but then my mac is unable to find the printer - the circle keeps going round trying to find it - but no luck. I have turned the printer on and off but no joy. Help please - thanks

Hello @singh_priss,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems installing your PSC 2100 onto your windows 7 computer.
I would like to help.
I would uninstall the printer.
I would then clear the temp folder.
Reboot/restart the computer.
Try running the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows

Win 8.1 driver for my MX870 printer

Just got a new Dell with Windows 8.1. When I plugged in my MX870, Windows installed a driver. The driver for printing seems similar to the Canon original driver I got 2-3 years ago and installed on my old Dell running Vista.
But, I don't see a Canon driver for scanning with the MX870. I do see the lame Windows Fax and Scanner applet, but that really is lame.
I see that the Canon web page has a Windows 8 driver for the printer. So, always cautious about installing anything- I presume I should uninstall the driver that Windows 8.1 installed, then install the driver on the Canon web site?
If so, should I install the driver with the printer NOT connected to the computer?
thanks,
Joe

Go to Solution.

Hi JoeZ,
You don't have to uninstall the drivers that were already installed by Windows; you can just download and install the latest drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website. Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX870. Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MP drivers file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded the MP drivers file, please follow the steps above to also download the rest of the software for the printer, except in Step 2 you will want to click on the red arrow next to the word SOFTWARE to display and download the software.
Hope this helps!

Printer driver for HP Laserjet m1132

I've recently switched to a mac with everything updated (version 10.9.5) and I'm trying to install a driver for printer laserjet m1132.
I followed each and every steps: system preference > printers and scanners > selected + > (selected the printer)
after selecting the printer another window popped out with list of printers, i selected the printer but then the "Add" button just got greyed out. And there's also a dropdown menu where i had to select to driver by myself, which i can't since i can't download the driver.
Any ideas?

Hi @joeyyoo007,
I see that you are having issues with getting the printer installed on 10.9. With a few steps, we should be able to resolve this issue.
Connect the printer directly to the Mac, by a USB connection. Run the Apple Updates to install the printer drivers.
I have provided a document on how to setup the printer on the Mac.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
If you are still having issues, please do the following steps listed below:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Try adding the printer again from the Printers and Scanners window.
If the driver fails to install, download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a nice weekend!
Thank You.
