Hello
I tried to install my old HP F4280 printer on Windows 10. Driver unavailable.
The Windows printer test tells me: Driver type Type3 User mode //Driver version: 6.1.7600.16385
Nothing prints... Thank you for helping me.

Hello.
HP hasn't developed a driver for Windows 10 and there's nothing anyone can do about it; try this driver, you never know, it might work https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/utilitaires/7981-driver-imprimante-hp-photosmart-f4280/

Hello everyone....

If the bazfile solution that I acknowledge doesn't work ► Try installing the printer via Add Printer ► Windows Update from the control panel ...and try with the HP Deskjet F 4200 Series driver ...(if it's a Deskjet and not Photosmart because it's not specified ??) and maybe Windows 10 will recognize this printer ...



A+ for the result
Cheers

Hello
Thank you, I wasn't very specific, my printer is an HP Deskjet f4280. I had indeed downloaded HP Deskjet f4280 series, here is what the test shows me: Port: USB001 - Processor hpzppw71 - windows x64 - Print driver properties - driver type: User-mode type - Driver version 6.1.7600.16385
If it helps C: /WINDOWSsystem32/DRIVERS/x64hpQ307w7.ini etc...

I followed your procedure to the letter, the printer displayed Deskjet 4200 series by default, a notification told me - DESKJET IS CONFIGURED AND READY TO USE.
I CAN'T PRINT THE TEST, it remains in the queue with printing in progress...

Hello .....

This means that the printer is correctly installed and recognized by Windows 10

Have you checked if the printer is set as the default?
Go to the control panel ► Right-click on the printer ► Check the line Set as default printer ...
See you+

Hello .....

What's happening exactly?
Is the print job starting but the page is coming out blank or something else?
Do you feel like the printer is responding when you send something or is it completely unresponsive?
Is the scanner working?
Before doing the installation as mentioned above, had you already tried to install this printer? If so, how and from which website?
  • How long has this printer not been used?


See you later.

Good evening
- The printer is not responding - If I press scan it blinks and then nothing -
Yes, I tried to install this printer from the HP website, I believe -
- I can make photocopies - It was on Vista which crashed on me...
Yes indeed, if I do:
Settings---printers and scanners APPEARS. 2 printers:
- The famous HP Deskjet F4200 series with DRIVER UNAVAILABLE test output just like in my first request... if I delete it, it always reappears.
THEN (according to your HP procedure) appears HP DESKJET F 4200 SERIES (Copy 1) with Default and 1 document in the queue since I can't edit.
In the control panel, the first one appears with a yellow triangle
Yours has a green circle...
When I power on the printer, it displays on the desktop: printer configured ready for use...
Thank you again for your patience... good evening....

Hello, I have the same problem with an HP Deskjet F4180 series printer.

I went to the HP website to look for the driver and couldn't find my printer.

Maybe it's too old: 2008

I think I'm going to buy another one...

I'm on Windows 11.

Hello .....

I suggest you uninstall this printer using Revo Uninstaller ► See here ...if you are not familiar with this tool, take the time to read about its usage on the same link
Launch Revo Uninstaller ► Uninstall by following the process to the end
Open the control panel ► Uninstall the HP Deskjet F4280
Restart the PC
Reinstall the printer as mentioned above using the control panel ► Add Printer ...as you've already done

See if the printer works

Hello.....

In principle, it should be there....
I suggest you go through the programs to check which one it is installed in, then when you see it, right-click on the line ► Uninstall with Revo Uninstaller
See you!

Hello ....

Have you checked Program Files (x86) and Program Files to see if you find something like HP Deskjet f4280 ... if so, that's what you need to uninstall in order to try a fresh installation
See you!

I don't know why I received a response that I sent you this morning?? Honestly...
