DeskJet 970 - no Toolbox HP in Windows 7 driver

It seems that now I've upgraded to Windows 7, I'm not finding the same level of printer features driver for my old-but-still-working-perfectly Deskjet 970.   For example, where is the utility to display the ink level estimated with each cartridge?   The printer driver "in the OS" seems to be Sub optimized compared to the provided HP driver that I had in the previous operating systems such as Vista.   Is it because HP can not be bothered to provide a suitable driver for this printer on Windows 7?    They are trying to subliminally to force me to buy a new printer?

Hi splinternet.

Although your HP product works essentially the same with the driver the operating system (OS), you will notice some differences. One difference is that you will not have access to the same HP Toolbox. However, there is workaround solutions available for tasks that are usually performed with the HP Toolbox.

  • DeskJet 970 Cxi: Driver for old printer

    I got a new PC for Windows 10, but can not find the driver for my printer - Deskjet 970 Cxi.

    The previous PC which has Windows 7, I got a drivers and what update to Windows 10 the printer works fine.

    Is it possible to get the old driver?

    Thanks for your reply.

    I tried the suggested steps, but they don't work - the printer is not directly related to the new PC.  Your suggestion, however, gave me the idea to do the following:

    1. connect the printer directly to the PC - in this case via USB - and try to install the new local printer.

    2. Windows 10 recognized a new USB device and successfully - installed, this includes a large number of former drivers HP that were not available previously.

    3. connect the printer to the original unit.

    4. install the network printer using the driver of device discovered in step 2.

    Thank you for your help.

  • DeskJet 970 CSE installation on network for Win 7 64 bit system

    My deskjet 970Cse is hard, connected to our desktop running Windows XP Pro. I just bought a new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. I was able to install the printer connecting the USB cable to the laptop without a hitch, however, I can not install it on the network. When I click on add printer, Windows is able to find the printer, but after having tried to connect, it says that it cannot find a driver on the network. When I click OK to locate one manually, it asks me to locate the INF I tried point to the Windows XP INF file that I downloaded on the HP site, but (obviously) it says that it cannot connect to the printer.

    I guess if I am able to connect the printer locally this logging on a network must be able to work? No work around to make it work?

    Or is my question anything HP pourrait/will be/t ' resolve when it releases so-called Windows 7 drivers?

    Follow these steps: on the Windows 7 computer go to file devices and printers, add a local printer, printer, create a new port, port Local, next, \\xpcomputername\dj970 (where you put in the real share of the computer name and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Deskjet 970, then, then.

  • DeskJet 970 cxi - lost installation CD can not find the download of the software

It is connected with a cable of parallal. I went of drivers and software, downloads, but downloading the software is not there. Does anyone have any idea were I can find the software download?

    You don't need special software.  Printer drivers are integrated into Vista.  Make sure that your Vista is updated (do Windows Update again and again until there is no more).  After that's done, plug your printer and it should recognize it.

  • HP deskjet 3510 does not work after windows 8.1

    My printer HP Deskjet 3510 cannot be detected after windows 8.1.  My computer is a HP Pavilion g6. Now, I would never, I clicked to install, I wish they would send me just windows 7. Laughing out loud

    @klb75,.

    Thanks for posting.

    The cardinal rule of when something does not work after update to 8.1 is put it back in place. This applies to the printing software and all other software. Uninstall from the control panel configuration, programs and features. Then, restart the computer.

    After that, download and install this software: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-108718-3&cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4158&product=5157483&sw_lang=

    * Thus, before installing the software, disable all Firewall/antivirus software. This software can create conflicts with the printer software.

    If reinstalling it does not help, run print and scan doctor. He could fix it... http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=CA&LC=en&JumpID=ex_r4155/HHO/IPG/ccdoc/printer_diag/&softwareitem=MP-135113-1

    Hello

    I just replaced my old laptop that worked on Windows 7 with a new laptop Windows 8.1. Already my all Deskjet in a F4500 let me scan and wireless printing.

    I managed to get the new laptop to print via USB, but I want to reproduce the wireless and scanning capabilities.

  • DeskJet 895Cse does not install on Windows 7 ThinkPad business.

    I can't get my DeskJet 895Cse to install on my ThinkPad corporate recently updated (for Windows 7). This machine is 64-bit. The company controls access to windows update - no authorized automatic connection.

    I have a 32-bit personal ThinkPad that I've upgraded to windows 7 and the deskjet installed correctly by using the windows update connection.

    How can I get the correct direct drivers so that I can thumbdrive load into my corporate ThinkPad?

    There are two possibilities:

    1. Go to start, devices and printers, add printer, seleect some dummy port as LPT1:, and when the list of printers, click Windows Update in the lower right.  (This is different from the normal Windows Update and may be feasible).  The list will take several minutes to update, after that, you can cancel the installation and then simply plug the USB cable to the Deskjet 895 and the pritner would install automatically.
    2. If the foregoing is blocked from another computer then visit the Microsoft Update Catalog site using IE (no other browsers not supported).  Search for Deskjet 895cse and the driver for Windows 7 64-bit is the file which is 11.6 Mb in size.

    Hello swallowsretreat

    When you mention that you have tried the HP troubleshooting page you were talking about article "fatal error" error 2203' (MSI 2203) displayed for HP Software Installation in Windows? ' " Otherwise I have suggestion follows first to try to resolve the first fatal error.

    Fatal error MSI message relates to the Microsoft Software install (MSI). As such they problem may be related to more that the software you are trying to install and be linked to the operating system.

    Let me know if you continue to receive the error when installing even after the rest of the article for fatal error 2203. Also have you tried to install the printer on another computer?
