Printer HP Deskjet 980cxi, drivers W7

For 3 windows 7 pc that needs to be in a special issue separate LAN I want to install the most recent drivers for the old but still work printer HP Deskjet 980cxi .

The only way to do that seems to be online. but these PCs are not accepted on the internet due to specific restrictions. How can I download and install the correct drivers with use of a usb key?

Hello ArnoldJan,
Welcome to the HP Forums.

Unfortunately for the Windows 7 operating system, there is no software available that could even be downloaded and moved. This printer is installed through the Windows updates (installation of the printer software in Windows 7 for a USB cable connection), which means that these computers requiring an Internet connection.

If you can somehow push updates, this can work. Other wise, there may be a work around, but I am not sure it will work.

You can try the base plug & play, to see if the computer recognizes the printer itself. If it isn't then you will need a driver. You can then go to start > device/printers > add a printer > choose existing port (must list what the printers trendy) > select HP in the left panel, then check if the 980 is displayed on the right. If it is not try the Deskjet 9800 (it's a generic driver). It would be the only work around for not going online.

I hope that works and is useful for you. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
