Install HP Printer Driver

Question

How do I download drivers for an HP printer?

Answer

  1. Find the make and model number of your HP printer (This example will be for an HP LaserJet Enterprise M608). This can be found on the front of the printer

  2. Search the model number in the search field and click Submit

  • NOTE: If there is no Basic Drivers section, download and install the "Recommended" software and follow the installer's instructions 

       5. Find the option with "PCL" (Printer Command Language) in it and select Download 

  • For example: HP LaserJet Enterprise M607/M608/M609 PCL6 Printer Driver (no installer)​​​

       6. Left-click to open the downloaded file in the bottom left
