HP LaserJet - Install HP print and scan software on a Windows 8 computer using a USB cable

Applicable products

Not all LaserJets have full feature drivers and software available. For recommended solutions per product, go to Windows 8 support (c03365145) (in English).

What you need to know

Full feature drivers or full solutions are recommended for most printers when available. The full solution is a collection of software that includes the complete set of drivers, installer software, and other administrative tools that are normally provided with the printer's software CD.

These steps are intended for customers that do not have the latest CD and need the newer drivers and software, or who want to upgrade from the InOS or Windows Update print driver to more advanced features.

Before you begin, follow these steps:

  • Do NOT connect the USB cable until you are prompted to do so during the software installation process.

  • Temporarily close any screen savers, or other software programs running on the computer.

  • Up to 400 MB of free hard disk space might be required to use this download. Make sure that you have enough memory and space on the computer to download the full solution and set aside enough time to allow the download to complete.

  • If you need a smaller file because you do not have enough free hard disk space or internet bandwidth, use the print/scan or print-only driver (Basic, Host-based, PCL6, or UPD) available for download from www.hp.com. If these options are not available, use the InOS driver or Windows Update driver.

Step one: Download the installer files needed to run the USB installation

note:

This step is required to successfully install the drivers and software via a USB connection. Do not skip this step unless installing on a network. If Windows Update is enabled, you can also run Windows Update to automatically obtain and install the necessary files.

  2. Type the printer name / number in the Enter a product name/number search box, and then click Search or press Enter.

  3. Select the LaserJet model from the search results.

  4. Select the language from the drop-down list and then select the operating system.

  5. Under the Driver - USB section, locate the HP LaserJet USB (DOT4) communication driver for Windows 8 file.

  6. Click Download, click Run, and then wait for the process to finish.

    note:

    If you receive a prompt to install .Net, click OK and follow the steps to install it.

Step two: Download the latest HP software and drivers

  2. Type the printer name / number in the Enter a product name/number search box, and then click Search or press Enter.

  5. Locate the full feature software or full solution under the Software or Driver section.

  6. Click Download, click Save, and then wait for the download to complete.

    note:

    Downloading a full feature or full solution driver can take some time. Please allow sufficient time for the download to complete. If you are using a dial-up connection, this download might be too large and you may need to order the software CD. To find out whether a CD is available, check the printer download page under the CD-ROM order page - CDs/DVDs section. To order, click Obtain software and then follow the instructions to order the software CD online.

  7. If you receive a prompt to install .Net, click OK and follow the steps to install it.

    note:

    If you receive an error message that .Net 3.5.1 is not available or the installation fails when trying to install, go to Microsoft's website to Download the .NET Framework 3.5.
