    Windows repeatedly installs printer driver 6.1.7233.1


    I noticed a 2GB download from Microsoft.com today and wondered what it was. I went to Updates and found that the only activity today was installing printer driver 6.1.7233.1. And then I noticed that it's been installing that driver almost every day for some time.


    I haven't changed anything about my printer in probably a couple years. It's an HP Laserjet M451dn.


    When I googled it, there was something about Malwarebytes. I'm not running Malwarebytes; I checked to be sure.


    How do I make it stop installing that printer driver?

    :)

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    Windows repeatedly installs printer driver 6.1.7233.1

    Printer driver unavailable after printer install in windows 10

    Hi,

    I would suggest reinstalling the printer's legacy drivers.

    Here are the complete steps to do so,

    1. Press Windows+R and type in control printers

    2. Right click the printer with the issue and choose properties

    3. Go to the web services tab, save and copy the IP address under troubleshooting information as a reference to the printer's IP address

    4. Close the window and right click the same printer

    5. Choose to remove device

    6. Go to start/search and type in hdwwiz.exe and open the application

    7. Choose the option "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list

    8. Locate printer and choose next

    9. Choose to create a new port and choose standard tcp/ip port

    10. On the hostname type in the IP address from the printer that you've saved from step 3

    11. Choose the option "Replace the current driver"

    12. Choose printer name

    13. Choose the option "Share this printer so that others on your network can find and use it.

    14. Let the printer install for 5 minutes
