Default WIN7-Driver for HP Deskjet 815C

Hi all,

my wife had to switch to a new WIN7-PC, and now we see that HP
discontinued support for her Deskjet 815C printer long ago. Has anybody
a copy of the driver software and can send it to me by PM? Or knows a
source where the printer driver can be downloaded?

Best Regards

Rainer Bielefeld

Hi,

thank you for your feedback, but all that does not work because the
printer driver is no longer available.

As a workaround I granted access to a network printer, but - of course -
she prefers to have her printouts at her workplace.

LOL

It was designed for DOS. At Best it may support NT v3.51 or Win2K

Time for a new printer.

When you go to Add Printer menu where you get to pick which printer to
add, where you could say pick other than HP, click on the Windows Update
button on the bottom of the window and then wait.

It can take quite a few minutes, mine was almost 5 minutes, before your
PC will respond again while it is looks for and downloads the latest
list of printers.

You will then see more than one Manufacturer entry for the HP printers
like "HP, Hewlett Packard, Hewlett-Packard". I just did that on both a
W7 and a W10 PC and both of them show the HP DeskJet 815C as being
available for install under the "HP" manufacturer, but only after doing
the "Windows Update" button in the "Install the printer driver" window.

Give it a try and see if your machine shows the printer after doing the
"update".

Hello,

on _my_ PC I find Deskjet 815C - I had access to that Printer connected
to my wife's old PC.

On her PC printer list update via WIN update seems not to work, hangs.
And suspicious, no WIN7 update this week. Seems there is something
broken in WIN update, I will check that.

Thank you

Rainer

Good luck.
No telling which driver Microsoft will actually use but at least it
looks like your old printer might still be functional minus a few
features (or not).

One thing I noticed on both my W7 and W10 machines is that those "new"
printers that show up after the update do not stick around after you
exit the printer installer. If you do install one of them the
individual printer stays installed but the huge master list does not.

It takes the same length of time to download it the second time but at
least Microsoft lets you access it online.

On your wife's machine you might want to ask for the printer list and
then go to bed for the night and see if it is waiting for you in the
morning. Kind of what I have done to get W7 updates to show up from
time to time.

Default WIN7-Driver for HP Deskjet 815C - SOLVED (was: WIN7-Driverfor HP Deskjet 815C)

Hello,

this failed several times, but today I successfully tried
"Install Legacy Software". The Windows update hung, but nevertheless new
printers including Deskjet 815C appeared and so I was able to install
the required drivers, a test print from an often used document with
color pictures looks fine.

Thanks to all

Rainer
