Windows 10: Trouble with HP Printer and old printer installs/drivers

Recently moved houses and moved router but did not change WIFI name or Password. Printer had issues printing so I removed and reinstalled in the HP app and Windows App. Had to do this multiple times to get it to work but now I have multiple instances of the same Printer installed and trying to clear the older ones. I have attached screen shot of windows printers and scanner settings and print dialog. A quick search sounds like I need to clear out the older drivers but I got lost. Any help would be appreciated.

HP Printer driver installation issue


Greetings,

I'm doing some tech support for a friend of the family, and I'm having trouble with installing her printer drivers. She has 2 printers hooked up to her wireless network, both HP products - that aren't being detected by the driver installer when it comes to that stage of the install process.

Not sure it matters, because we know the printers are working fine on other computers, but there is a M1212nf MFP and a P1606dn.

I've inquired with HP via their forums (after giving up on their email submission system) and was referred to this page: HP Printers - Printer Not Found During Network Driver Setup (Windows) | HP® Customer Support


I'm just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions as to what I can do. The lady I'm doing this for is insisting on tracking hours and paying me, and is busy enough that I have to work around her schedule, thus I want to have as many options as possible to try when I'm there on Wednesday.

 

HP Printer driver installation issue


Try adding the printers manually in control panel. (Meaning without running the HP driver CD).

1. Turn on your printer and make sure it is connected to the network.
2. Open the Control Panel
3. Click on Hardware and Sound.
4. Double-click the Add a printer icon.
5. Select "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer" and click Next.
6. Let Windows scan for the printer and if detected, select the printer and click Next. If the printer is not listed, click "The printer that I want isn't listed" and skip to add printer by name or TCP/IP address.
7. If you know the printer's name, choose "Select a shared printer by name" and enter the path to the printer. For example, with a network named "hope" and a printer named "hp", the network path would be: "\\hope\hp".

If you do not know the printer's path, but have the printers IP address, select "Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname".
Click Next.
If during the install, Windows asks for drivers, point to the location of your printer drivers."

IME, I do this when a customer's printer has the same issue as yours and it (usually) works fine.

 

Installing Printer Drivers on Win Serv 2003

hp doesn't have any drivers that support Window Server 2003 for my printer a PSC 1420V. Is there anyway I can install the drivers, or install substitute drivers?
