Help adding an HP printer

I recommend James' second option with the installation of the Universal Print Drivers. I've worked with these printers before and having Windows find the drivers has been troublesome.

Before even plugging the printer in, download the file in question. Double-click on it to run the file, and then it'll offer a default location for the files of c:\HP Universal Print Driver\pcl6-x64-7.0.0.24832. If you want, you can leave that as is and then click on the Unzip button. Once that's done, go to the folder I mentioned in the previous sentence.

Run install.exe from this location, click Yes, and click the radio button for USB mode- Play and Play. Leave both boxes checked and then click Next. This will stage the drivers so when you plug in the USB cable between the PC and printer, it should install properly using the PCL6 universal print drivers.
