I am attempting to install a driver for the HP Laserjet (Pro?--it's hard to tell) manually from a CD on a PC with no Net access. Since it's a 64-bit PC (Lenovo H405 10059 w/ AMD Athlon II X2 255 CPU), I thought there would be something in the AMD64 folder, but it's contents are a puzzle box.
I've tried two approaches: one via Printer / Driver Upgrade (no joy); the other by browsing the CD that came with the printer. I spotted the executable there and that led me here.
Running setup from the CD just offers to connect the laser printer that I'm struggling with and that is already classified as "default, errors."
Reply: Hello, generally speaking, there are drivers for many printer models in the CD, and there will also be drivers for your printer. Not only that, there is also a printer management software in the CD that can manage or set some parameters of the printer, in order to achieve some personalized printing functions. You must first carefully check the text printed on the printer device, which is the printer model, and find the corresponding driver in the CD according to the model name.
In addition, before installing the driver, please make sure that your printer and computer have been linked together, and in the "Device Manager" in the operating system, there is an icon in the shape of a question mark about the printer device driver. If there is this icon, it proves that the printer has been connected to the computer, so that the driver can be installed for the printer. If there is no such icon, it is recommended that you check the printer and the power connection, data cable, etc., between the printer and the computer. Regarding the troubleshooting of various printer problems, you can go to this
station (Printer Driver Download) to find some common printer problems and repair methods, and download the corresponding printer driver.
If you still cannot install the driver, it is also possible that the old driver has some old driver information left in the registry, causing the new driver to fail to install. Please clean up the old information at this time.
