Drivers for HP printers from Microsoft and HP - Microsoft Community


just when thought has sorted out printer problems, took step today , fell in heap...

 

have undestood driver installation / device creation process correctly?

 

i noticed peculiar thing installing printers on win10: os seems know it's doing...!?!

 

i have ignored attempts of various versions of windows install drivers hp printers , used drivers hp site. did after upgrading win10 year ago , hell broke loose... pc had multiple printer devices appearing on show @ different times  -well 2 precise, unnerving see 1 one day , 2 different ones next.

 

the first instance of printer device worked fine next day renamed , second device present. on investigation discoverd habit of win10 search network printers , install printer automatically. had idea , deleted printers , drivers, , lo , behold, win10 re-installed printer perfectly. 

 

then on time noticed various missing features , problem aligning envelopes in tray reasoned needed let windows instal printer first, , use hp drivers create device see if attached more complete driver.

 

so tried today expecting see 2nd device, none appeared. installation seems have updated driver win10.

 

i hoping have 1 device windows , 1 hp drivers. possible?

hi stephen,

based on information provided, it's not recommended have 2 drivers installed may affect performance , may cause more problems in future. highly suggest install 1 driver device.

looking forward response.
