Earlier I was trying to install a printer driver on the computer. My printer has no more ink and honestly the print quality has really gotten bad, so no sense in using it. Anyway, my computer is attached to a network of other computers. Since the computer was reformatted I have had some trouble installing a printer on another computer through the network. I kept getting the error “the server that operates the printer has a bad printer driver”. I restarted the computer a few times to see if that would work. To my dismay, it did not. Then I figured I would just download the actual drivers to my computer. I did just that, as well as install the drivers. Then I went to search for the printer again and when I received the error, I browsed to the program files for the HP printer and found the file that was needed to install the driver. Voila! It re-installed the driver and I was able to print.
So, what do you do when you can’t install a printer through the network?
- download the driver through the manufacturer
- install the driver
- locate the printer through the control panel “printers and faxes”
- Attempt to install the printer
- If the process asks for a file, then search for the program files folder for the HP printer driver is
- select the driver file
- driver should install
- Printer should be installed -
If it fails to download the printer, then you might have the wrong driver isntalled on your computer. Make sure you are using the driver of the name of the printer.
