Click on add a printer

The PC will find the local network and display network printers.

The system will try and auto select a compatible driver

Select the current driver and click Next

The system will then ask you a name for the printer. The user can change the name, and then click Next

The user can then choose to share the printer

The user may choose to make this new default printer, and then click Finish.

The new printer is now configured, but this printer will use the driver in OS (class) instead of the full function of HP driver.

To change the printer using the HP driver full function follow the instructions below. I recommend you replace the driver HP driver full function that the user can then use features such as custom paper sizes.

Return to the control panel and select devices and printers, right-click on the newly created printer and select printer properties

Choose the Advanced tab

Click the driver set and choose the printer driver has no driver class of words after it.

Click on apply and then OK and the driver will be changed to the driver for the HP printer full function.

The user should try this configuration and see if they still have problems.

Printing should not be a problem more. Please let me know your back feed, and if these measures have helped.

Good luck and good impression.

See you soon,.

Hi pixystixy99,

Try to access the printer from devices and printers properties. When you open the printer on the Office Assistant, it opens printing options, which does not change the driver.

See you soon,.
