Photosmart 1218 compatible driver to Windows 8.1?

I am trying to find a compatible driver to make my Photosmart 1218 printer work on Win 8.1. I tried one at random and it printed an extra page of lines each time and then even if I didn't print anything. Can anyone suggest a basic driver to keep me going in the short term whilst I decide what to replace it with please? Thanks.

Hi,
Please check and use the following setup :

  • Hp photosmart 7350 Printer Driver for Windows 7

    I can't seem to locate a Printer Driver for my HP photosmart 7350 printer. Hp states the driver for the HP deskjet 5550 should work, but it doesn't.  I just bought a new computer and was hoping not to have to buy a new printer.

    Hey farhanchd,
    What is the full name of your HP Laserjet printer?  
    There are several models in the HP Laserjet 1100 series and would need to know the exact name to give you precise instructions.  
    I do know that the Laserjet 1160 has a driver available through the Windows Update system and may be the same for your printer.  Please take a look at the information in the link provided below.

  • Photosmart C309a Printer Driver for Windows 8.1

    I have downloaded and uninstalled/reinstalled too many times to count and wasted 2 days plus.
    Still it shows driver error or lack of connection with USB even though it searches and finds printer and serial number and runs test pages (print & scan).
    But it will not run HP software suite ever since I have Windows 8.1. Coincidence?
    How can I get this printer working again>  Urgent.

    Bob, I did download the Deskjet 990c for my photosmart 1218 printer but it does not print... this windows 7 is 64 so does that make a difference???? geeze you seem like the only one out there to help us... hp has nothing..
    thanks Melinda Ramsey  
    How is the printer connected, USB or parallel?  Make sure the proper port is selected in the port settings.  When you try to print doe the print job remain in the queue?  This would most likley indicate a port issue.  Are there any error messages?  For the Photosmart 1218 the Deskjet 970 might be a better choice, you can change this as follows:  go to the Devices and Printers folder, right click on the Deskjet 990c (or whatever you named this printer),  select Advanced, New Driver, Next and then select the HP Deskjet 970.

    Do the following:  go to the Printers folder, right click on the Photosmart 1218, Printer Settings, Advanced, Replace Driverand select the Deskjet 990.  If the Deskjet 990 does not appear as a choice then select "WIndows Update" and wait afew minutes for the list to repopulate.

    I purchased a new Asus desktop pc that runs Windows 7 Home Premium.  (Previously I have been using the HP C5280 on a pc with Windows XP and had no problems.)
    I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled all possible combinations of the following software, but still cannot scan.

    I have run HPSDU diagnostics after each successful step of the installation and I get a “The scan driver is missing or corrupt” message.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  Please help!

  • Is HP Photosmart E317 compatible with Windows 7?

    Is HP Photosmart E317 compatible with Windows 7? How to download pictures from the camera?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Do you use memory card on your camera or only internal memory ?
    (a) For memory card: pull out the card and put to the computer card reader, it will turn up as a drive and you can copy photos around,
    (b) For internal memory: you can use the USB cable which comes with the camera but it may not turn up in Windows 7. One option is to buy a memory card, move photos from internal memory to the memory card to it then back to (a) above.

  • Photo program that is compatible HP Photosmart Premier 6.5 for Windows 8.

    I need a Photo program that is compatible with HP Photosmart Premier 6.5 for Windows 8. Can anyone help me? as the program in Windows 8 does not recognize the flash drive to upload.

    Hi,
    This is a third party software, I think the contract ceased few years back. The latest version is v7.0 dated 2006-06-09. Now HP uses a product called HP Photo Creations, you can download from the following link:
       http://www.hp.com/hho/hp_create/themes_partners_hp_photo_creation.html
    Regards.
    ps. This is also a third party product (from Rocketlife).

    I cannot find a driver for Windows 7, 64 bit to run the Photosmart 325 printer. Does one exist? Is there a work around? (The driver for Windows 7, 32 bit does not work)

    Use the Photosmart 320 series driver available through Windows Update.

  • "compatible driver isn't available for this version of Windows"

    Using Windows 7 x64 on a Thinkpad T500.
    Got this message when I ran Windows' troubleshoot:
    "Your wireless network cardhas stopped working properly because a compatible driver isn't available for this version of Windows. The model name of yourwireless network card is Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard. This device is distributed by many different computer manufacturers."
    It keeps looking for drivers for my PCI Serial Port and PCI Communications Controller. I downloaded and successfully installed the most recent driver for Intel AMT but it did not fix the problem. According to the ThinkVantage Toolbox all my hardware is fine.
    Is there a solution to this that I'm not finding online?

    caveman we need to know the model of the laptop and the version of Windows you are running. 

  • HP1000 PhotoSmart driver for Windows 7?

    Does anybody know of software for a Photo Smart P1000 that will work on my Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7?
    I purchased my printer in 2000.  It still works great! 

    Hello azrockhound99,
    I understand you are looking for software to get the Photosmart 1000 working on your Windows 7 PC. I have looked into this for you. There isn't any software for you printer available to download. To get this printer working on the computer you may want to try following this document: Installing the Printer with an Alternate Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection.
    For the alternate print driver I would suggest using the Deskjet 9800 based on your OS version.
    Please let me know how you make out.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
