Step 1: Prepare for printer setup

Confirm the following requirements and items before you begin:

The printer is turned on and in good condition.

Get a USB cable less than 3 feet 9 meters long.

There is an available USB port on your computer: If you connect from a USB hub or docking station, the working printer may not receive enough power.

If you have connected the USB cable to your computer before installing the HP driver, follow these steps to ensure a successful configuration to remove the printer from the installed device. Alternatively, go to the next step to install the driver.

Disconnect the printer's USB cable from your computer. Do not reconnect the cable until prompted during the driver installation step.

Search for "devices" in Windows, and then click Results and Printers in the control panel settings.

Right-click the printer model icon, and then click Remove Device. If there are several icons for the printer, remove them all.

Remove Printer Devices and Printers

Close the Devices and Printers window and continue to the next step.

Step 2: Install the driver and configure the connection
Download and install the best available printer driver to complete your USB connection.
