Windows 10: Driver for old HP DESKJET 520

HI


I have an old HP DESKJET 520 that was functioned perfect im WIN 7 with a driver for the Deskjet 500 that was then found by Win update in the installation program.

When I try to install the 520 now in WIN 10 the installation program does not find the driver for 500.


BUT ................

WHEN A friend of mine from an other favorite forum perform a "fake" installation his Win update finds the 500 - driver.

VERY STRANGE I THINK.


But then I would like to ask if it iss possible to find the "file" in the friends pc and copy it and then he sends it to me.

Then I use his file in my system after I have piced my "file" out.


After that I run the installation process an perhaps the system can use the new 500-drive and perhaps my Deskjet 520 will function.


Perhaps a deam, but I really want to keep and use our old friend the HP DESKJET 520


I just have to make a perhaps last try.


I wish you a

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Staffan

Unable use Windows built-in solution to add a driver for an HP Deskjet 6127

I am on Windows 10 (win10_1803.17134.706) and have an HP Deskjet 6127 and the built in solution for adding a printer is not working at all. I can't find drivers for my printer so I skip ahead and look for hp-deskjet-990c drivers instead. I can’t install this driver I just downloaded because they’re for Windows XP giving me an error during installation.

I can’t use Windows add-a-printer because both 6127/990c isn’t listed even after updating the list which took a long time. I was then only left with downloading drivers for 990c, but they're incompatible with Windows 10 even after changing compatibility mode.

Some notes:

• Sometimes when a driver isn't found, you can substitute it with a compatible alternative as mentioned here.
  
• Product & Driver
  
  • HP Deskjet 6127: Exclusive to Windows add-a-printer if not found use compatible alternative
    
  • HP Deskjet 990c: Driver here.
