Way to install hp printer driver without cd

When you purchase a new HP printer, it often comes with a CD containing the necessary printer drivers. But what if you don't have a CD drive? What if you've misplaced the CD? The good news is that it's perfectly possible to install an HP printer driver without a CD. Here's how you do it.

The first step is to identify which type of driver you need. HP printers come with either a full feature driver or a basic driver. The full feature driver contains a full suite of printing features, while the basic driver contains very limited support for printing. You can use either driver, depending on your needs.

Next, you need to download the correct driver from the HP website. From the main HP homepage, select "Support & Drivers" at the top of the page. You'll then be asked to enter your printer model number. Once you've identified the correct printer, find the appropriate driver.

Once the driver is downloaded, open the installation package. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Then, connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable and make sure it's turned on. The HP printer driver will automatically be installed.

After the installation is complete, you'll need to configure the printer. This includes setting the paper size and type, setting the number of copies, and setting other options such as the print quality. To access these settings, go to your printer's control panel, either through the Start menu or by right-clicking the printer icon in the Windows taskbar.

If your printer doesn't appear in the Windows taskbar, then you may have to install the printer manually. To do this, open the Printers & Scanners menu from the Settings app, and then select Add a Printer or Scanner. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the correct model and driver from the list.

By following these steps, you'll be able to install an HP printer driver without a CD. If you're still having trouble, you can contact the HP support team for further assistance.
