I'm trying to get a printer setup on a Windows 7 laptop. The printer is a network printer being shared from our desktop that is next to it. Under Add Printer in Win7, I can see the network printer ( DESKTOP HP OfficeJet) but I try to add it and it says it can't find the driver for HP OfficeJet V Series. This happens to be the v40. I tried to find a driver download but it appears there isn't one for Win7 or Vista.
The HP site said the printer should work fine with the built in printer driver on Win7 but the add printer is asking for the driver, or a manual location of the INF file. Can I just try to point it to a local INF? Where's that file on Win7? Ultimate Md5 Reverse Keygen. Here's what I've tried: • No printers installed • Add Printer >Local Printer >LPT1 port • Click the WU button you circled in your screenshot • Upon WU refresh of the list, choose any printer and hit Next • Hit Cancel on the next screen • Go back to Add Printer >Network Printer • Find the shared printer and hit Next • At this points it pops up a little windows that says its checking WU for a driver. It then tries and finally says: 'Windows can't find a driver for hp officejet v series on the network'.
There is a trick to doing this I learn installing my HP. Do not plug the printer into the computer when doing this • Install a new printer as if it's local to your computer.

Windows 7 comes with a very small list of printer drivers, and for some reason installing via the network does not allow Windows Updates to download the complete list. This process is only required once or if the printer you was produced after Windows 7 released.
I did them separately. I'm currently not plugged in. When I add a local print (NOT NETWORK) I get a list of drivers to choose from.
I Choose HP >HP OfficeJet V40. The next screen says I already have the necessary driver, do I want to overwrite it or use the one I have.
Based on your directions, this is the point where I cancel since I'm not actually installing a local printer but just making sure I have the driver. Once I cancel and go back to add the network print, it tries to find the driver and it fails as I mentioned before. – Feb 21 '10 at 18:44 •.

The fact that you find the printer for a local install does not make it available for network because often the printer internal description differ when connecting via the network. Therefore the Windows Update trick downloads all driver signatures to the local cache which allows Windows Update to find the driver in future. – Feb 21 '10 at 18:48 •. It seems the problem is with the driver itself then and that Windows is not recognising it at all. It shouldn't at any point check WU once you've done the above since the driver signature will already be there. I used this to install other HP and Lexmark printers regularly.
Unfortunately it seems in your situation the problem is different. However I am leaving the answer for others to try since I do know it works in other environments. It is possible that it is failing the Windows Update and therefore not updating the driver store. – Feb 21 '10 at 19:05. I was in the same boat - a new computer with Windows 7 trying to print to a networked v40.
