I am on Windows 10 (win10_1803.17134.706) and have an HP Deskjet 6127 and the built in solution for adding a printer is not working at all. I can't find drivers for my printer so I skip ahead and look for hp-deskjet-990c drivers instead. I can’t install this driver I just downloaded because they’re for Windows XP giving me an error during installation.



I can’t use Windows add-a-printer because both 6127/990c isn’t listed even after updating the list which took a long time. I was then only left with downloading drivers for 990c, but they're incompatible with Windows 10 even after changing compatibility mode.



Some notes:




  • Sometimes when a driver isn't found, you can substitute it with a compatible alternative as mentioned here.

  • Product & Driver


    • HP Deskjet 6127: Exclusive to Windows add-a-printer if not found use compatible alternative


    • HP Deskjet 990c: Driver here.

  • Did you check HP's website for a driver?

  • I wasn't able to find the support page for it. I know it exists becuase I browsed through it yesterday and it simply puts that users have to use the Add-a-printer method which is Windows built-in way of doing it. Problem is, it's not listed same with the compatible alternative being hp-deskjet-990c even after updating the list.
