Windows 10: update driver for my HP printer

How do I update my drivers for my HP printer

:)

 

HP printer driver bug/issue

I had an HP printer a couple of years ago, and since changed brands, but when I follow these steps, no HP shows. I only see my current printer. So if it's not listed I guess I don't have drivers for it anymore?




Also what about people who are just simple users, and will have no idea what to do? I know a couple that just let Windows do everything for them. This seems like a nightmare if a fix isn't pushed automatically since there will be a lot of people affected, and not even know since they don't even follow tech news for things like this.

 

HP printer driver bug/issue

If you go to Windows Settings and search for printers, you should see all the installed printers. Remove the ones you no longer own. Check Device Manager -> Printers too.

I don't know the answer to the question about what simple users should do. Hopefully their HP drivers would eventually get updates via WU, but I'm not sure.

 

Keep getting HP Printer driver updates for printer that was uninstalled

HP printer driver updates reinstall on my desktop despite the HP Printer having been uninstalled long ago and it does not appear on the printer device list. I just recently was advised on how to stop the windows HP Printer updates, which worked, but now
see in the update history that the HP driver was installed.
