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.

  • Where can I download Windows 8.1 32-bit basic driver for HP Photosmart 3310

    Hi, I hope someone can help.
    I've been scouring the HP support site trying to find a download of the BASIC driver for HP Photosmart 3310 for 32-bit Windows 8.1.  I don't want the full istall package, just the printer driver.  I found a 64-bit version, which doesn't work on my system.  
    I downloaded and tried the printer install wizard, which only lets you download the full 434MB software package, which I don't want.
    Thanks! Any help appreciated.

    Hi,
    There is a 32 bit WIndows 8.1 drivers available for download, however it is a full feature software and not the basic drivers. You can try to install it and see if it helps you.

  • Printer Driver for HP Photosmart 7520 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.3 and 10.5

    I just purchased a new HP Photosmart 7520 printer.  One of my Macs at home is an iMac G5 that is running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.  It connects to the HP printer via Wi-Fi.  HP does not provide drivers for Mac OS 10.4 for the Photosmart 7520 printer.  I tried all sorts of old HP drivers and finally found one that worked, so I figured I would post here to help out anyone else who is trying to solve the same problem.  The driver download you need is the OS 10.4 driver for the Photosmart C7250 All-In-One printer.  Here is the link to the download page:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55650-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=3382185&sw_lang=
    After downloading and installing the drivers, I ran the HP Printer Setup Utility.  It was not able to detect my printer.  I had to go to System Preferences on my Mac and add the printer manually in the Print & Fax control panel.  The Print & Fax control panel was not able to auto-select the correct driver to use, so I selected "HP" from the "Print Using" drop-down list, and then selected "HP Photosmart D7400 Series" from the "Model" list.  That worked for me.  Good luck!
    According to the driver download page, this driver will work for Mac OS X v10.3.9, v10.4 and v10.5

    Thank you very much, I just bought this printer without paying attention to the compatibility of my Imac. Thanks to you, I just install it without too much difficulty. Thank you again.
    Merci beaucoup, je viens d'acheter cette imprimante sans faire attention à la compatibilité de mon Imac. Grace à vous, je viens de l'installer sans trop de difficulté. Encore merci.

  • Need HDCP-recognizing Bootcamp Windows driver for MacBook Pro's screen

    I need a Bootcamp Windows driver for my MacBook Pro 15/Retina (MBR) that recognizes that the MBR's built-in screen in HDCP-compliant.  The current Bootcamp drivers for Windows do recognized HDCP on an external HDMI-connected display, but do not recognized HDCP on the internal display.
    BTW, I've read some statements that Windows drivers don't recognize HDCP via DisplayPort connections, so I wonder if Apple is using internal wiring that acts like it's a DisplayPort connection?
    Please do not suggest things that only enable disabling DRM HDCP protection from Blu-Ray discs.  I need a solution that to cooperate with DRM HDCP protection for content from live tuners, not from a Blu-Ray or DVD disc.
    My application is using Windows Media Center (WMC) to play streaming content from my Silicon Dust HD HomeRun Prime (HDHR3) cable TV tuner on my MBR's built-in screen.  This works fine with an external HDMI-connected (HDCP-capable) display, but I also want to get this working on my laptop's screen for when I'm stuck in bed (illness, bad back, etc.).  The only application Silicon Dust offers for viewing HDHR3 tuner output on Windows (or any platform, as far as I know) which supports all protected cable channels is WMC, and WMC relies on the Apple-provided Windows NVIDIA drivers for HDCP capability.  The NVIDIA Control Panel explicitly recognizes my external HDMI-connected monitor's HDCP capability, but does not recognize the MBR's internal screen has having any HDCP.  This causes WMC to prevent the display of any TV channels at all from the HDHR3 when the only screen is the internal one (and it blocks DRM-protected channels if both screens are active in parallel).
    I'm thinking that the best solution would be an NVIDIA driver for the built-in GeForce GT 650M for Windows 8 (or 7) which recognizes HDCP capability via DisplayPort.  Is there anything like that?  Or, alternately, some add-in driver that adds a layer of HDCP capability recognition to the standard drivers?
    Is there any currently-available solution?  . . . something that will enable the internal screen to play all the tuner's cable channels including DRM-protected ones (either on Bootcamp'ed Windows or on the OS X side)?
    P.S. -- FYI, the only other potential app I've read about for using an external tuner with a MacBook is an OS X version of MythTV, but (a) that requires an excessively long list of geek tweek steps (install an SQL application, create an SQL database, do lots of command-line tweaks, add & configure a backend app and then a frontend app, ... ) and (b) even then it seems it doesn't support channels that aren't marked "copy-freely", i.e., HDCP-enabled DRM protected content.

    Strange -- sig's comment seems gone now.  I wonder why.
    Anyway, I did try the latests NVidia drivers yesterday, afterall they explicitly say they added HDCP over DisplayPort, but no joy.  In the NVidia control panel (for Windows), external displays via HDMI have a left-menu section for HDCP that explicitly shows it's working, but there is still no such indication for the internal display, and I am still unable to use WMC with HD HomeRun Prime cablecard tuner to play anything on the screen except channels that the provider marks "copy freely" (e.g., Bloomberg news channel 722 isn't playable, but MSNBC 723 is playable). 
    My guess is that maybe laptop internal displays don't explicitly have internal DisplayPort and HDCP technology but have some kind of exception that normally allows playback?
    As an alternative I wish there were cablecard tuner playback software on the OS X side that could play more than "copy freely" cablecard-tuned material, but there doesn't seem to be anything comparable to Windows Media Player that supports that.  (Now it should be clearer why this discussion belongs under MacBook Pro and not under Bootcamp where the moderators moved it.)

  • Cannot extract Window driver for MAC

    I have windows installed in my MacBookPro. The problem is I do not have Window driver for Mac. This is the reason why :-
    I created a partition of Fat32 (that was my mistake). When I tried to load Windows using BootCamp - it did not work. It is asking me to go to Disk Utility anc conver the partition to Mac file system whcih I am unable to do that. To go round -
    I have installed XP in the Fat32 partion without using Boot Camp. The problem is getting the Windows driver for Mac beucase I cannot use the Boot Camp.
    Are there any way of getting Windows driver for Mac ?

    You need a boot loader and that's what BootCamp establishes.

  • Windows 7 driver for HP Photosmart 7850... HELP!

    Bought a new Toshiba laptop with Windeows 7, 64 bit operating system.  Cannot get PC to recognize/connect with my HP printer model Photosmart 7850.  Went to HP website to install driver and I am not successful  I'm told by one person the driver for these two devices is not available or does not exist.  Does this mean that I discard a 4 year old HP printer that is in excellent working order and buy new? Tell me it's not true.  I followed the directions on the HP website as directed by The Geek Squad, but without success.  My pc skills are pretty limited.  I need help!  Somebody please!

  • Windows 8.1 driver for HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One

    I am trying to install the printer driver for Windows 8.1. The printer is a HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One. However, when it gets to installing the software it errors out. So I tried just downloading the driver without all the bells and whisles and it comes back telling me it cannot find "mp-110021-2/AIO_CDA_FSW_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe" bur with the URl in front of it. I have done a search and have check the ftp site given in this forum and nothing has proven to be available any longer. Does anyone know where I can get this driver from? Thanks

    Hi , I see that you are experiencing issues installing the printer software. I would be happy to help you.
    Perform a clean boot on the computer and turn off the Antivirus Software. How to perform a clean boot in Windows. Then run the HP Printer Install Wizard, to see if that will help to install the software.HP Printer Install Wizard. How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless) If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • Need driver for HP Photosmart 1115 printer for windows 7 beta

    What driver can I use to get this printer to work?  Can you also provide installation procedure?   Would your recommendation also work for HP Photosmart 1215 printer which I also have?
    Thanks

    Had the same problem, got it working by using Photosmart 8200 driver.   You have to go to add a printer, select Dot4 USB for the port, and then pick the 8200 driver from the list that Windows 7 ships with.   Once you do, it just works.   My test page printed on the first try.   HP could make this a *lot* easier for everyone, but I guess they are in the business of selling more printers.

  • How to install driver for HP photosmart 7520 on MacOSX 10.5.8???

    My husband does basic printing of documents.  His computer is a MAC OSX 10.5.8.   We have a new HP Photosmart 7520 printer which requires 10.6 minimum. 
    Is it possible to get a driver for this printer for him, that will allow him to access the printer, without getting a new computer!!  ??  To simply be able to print and fax and scan.. he rarely does photos. 
    Please Help, as of course, he is quite frustrated, and as a result, so am I!!
    Thanks.

    Hi grammaglenys,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you having trouble installing drivers with your printer. It is true that this printer only supports Mac OS X 10.6 as the minimum requirement for the HP Photosmart 7520.
    As the Operating System is older than when the printer came out, there currently isn't a driver available. However, here is a list of printers that can be used with Mac OS X 10.5.8. Archived - Mac OS X 10.5.3: Printer drivers included in the HP Printer Driver Update v1.1.1. Or you can try upgrading the Operating System to Mac OS X 10.6.
    Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!

  • Driver for HP photosmart 7350 on OS 10.5.5

    Does Apple plan to create a patch for the HP Photosmart 7350 so it will run on OS 10.5.5?

    It's up to HP to supply drivers for its printers. Apple just includes them with OS X. In the case of your printer the drivers are provided by Gutenprint. There's a Gutenprint update you can install to see if the new drivers have changed for your printer. Download it here. Otherwise, you will need to check HP's website for an update driver for your printer. A check of their website does not show any new driver for use with Leopard.
    If you're willing to spend the money there is a product called PrintFab which supports your printer. Their drivers are likely to be superior to the one provided by Gutenprint.

    I was given a HP Photosmart C6280 printer but the person did not have the disc that came with it to install the driver. I am technologically disinclined and have no clue what to do. Can someone please tell me where to find a driver for this printer and how to install it? I have tried to use a driver on some other websites, but they want a credit card and quite frankly, I don't trust them.
    Thank you!

    I followed for a different printer instructions but the Photosmart 7200 driver only lists a manual duplexing option.
    Is there another driver that will work for the HP 1115 that support auto duplex?
    Thanks
    Use the Deskjet 970 or 990 driver as described above and enable the duplexer as described in my previous post.
