3. Navigate to the Adobe Flash Player download site. See the Resources section.

HP Solution Center Opens Correctly, But Printer is Not Displayed
1. Check the back of your printer and verify that the small end of the USB cable is inserted into the correct port. Check the other end of the cable and verify that the USB cable is plugged into a USB port on the computer.
2. Press the power button on the printer to turn it on. If the printer is powered on and is still not visible in the HP Solution Center, then the computer is not recognizing it.
3. Click the 'Start' or Windows button in the lower left corner of your screen and click 'Control Panel.'
4. Double-click the 'Printers and Faxes,' 'Devices and Printers' or 'Printers' icon.
5. Right click on your HP printer and choose the 'Remove device' option. Click 'Yes' to confirm that you wish to remove the printer. Note that this will not remove the HP Solution Center or delete the driver from your computer. You just need to refresh the connection between your printer and computer.
6. Unplug the USB cable from the back of your printer or from your computer and plug the cable back in. This will open a pop-up window in the lower right corner of your screen indicating that device has been detected. The computer will reinstall the driver software.
