How to Install HP Printer Software Without a CD

1. Go to the HP Support and Drivers website and click 'Download drivers and software (and firmware).'
2. Enter your printer code--for example for the 'HP Deskjet D1660' type 'd1660.' Click the '>>' button to search.
3. Select your operating system from the drop-down menu and click 'Next.'
4. Click 'Driver' to expand the driver options in 'Step two.'
5. Choose a download. HP offers 'Full Feature Software,' which has all HP photo editing software bundled in. HP also offers just the 'Print Drivers' if you prefer just to get the essential software. Click 'Download.'
6. Choose whether to 'Yes, give feedback' or 'No, thank you' to filling out the HP customer survey, then wait for the drivers to download.
7. Double-click the installer once it has downloaded. This installer will be the latest version of the software for your printer and will install like the original CD-ROM would. During the installation it will ask you to connect your printer to your computer.
