To begin, open your web browser and navigate to 123.hp.com. This will direct you to HP's official support page specifically designed for printer users.
Once on the website, you'll need to identify your printer model. Use the search or browse functionality to locate your specific printer model from the list provided.
After selecting your printer model, you'll be prompted to choose your operating system. Ensure that you select the correct operating system version (e.g., Windows 10, macOS Catalina) to ensure compatibility.
Once you've selected your operating system, you'll be presented with the option to download the driver software. Click on the download button, and the driver installation file will begin downloading to your computer. Once downloaded, run the installation file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Printer drivers act as a bridge between your computer and the printer, facilitating communication and enabling you to send print commands effectively. Without the proper drivers, your computer may not recognize the printer or may experience compatibility issues, leading to printing errors and inefficiencies.
