Installing a driver for printer no. Download and install drivers for the HP LaserJet Pro M1132 MFP printer
Often the user encounters a printer software problem. It would seem that everything is so simple, but somewhere during the driver installation process an error was made or some nuance was not taken into account. Let's look at the different options, how to install printer drivers.
If we bought a new printer with a disk with drivers and software, then there are no questions - we need to follow the instructions. And if we don’t have a new printer and you changed Windows to a newer axis, for example from XP to 7 (seven), then first you need to see what bit depth and version of Windows we have. To do this, call up the properties by right-clicking on the “My Computer” shortcut. Let's see if the drivers from the disk are suitable for your version of the system and continue working.
Installing the printer driver from disk
If yours is listed in the list of supported systems on the driver disk, then we begin the installation. One of the points when installing most printer drivers is often forgotten to observe. When starting the installation, the printer must be disconnected from the computer (you can use the power button or physically disconnect the cable from the computer or printer - whichever is more convenient). 
Next, when installing the driver, in the installation window you will be asked to connect the printer, after which the computer, having identified the device, will continue installing the printer driver.
When the installation is complete, you may be prompted to restart your PC - reboot to complete the correct driver installation.
Installing a printer if there is no factory disk
If, when installing a printer driver after reinstalling Windows again or purchasing a new computer, it turned out that the disk was lost somewhere or the drivers on it do not support your operating system, then you can use the built-in Windows tools to install equipment, in particular printers, or you can go to Go to the manufacturer's website and find the latest drivers for your printer model. Let's look at the example of searching for a driver for the HP LaserJet 1020 laser printer. We enter the phrase “driver HP LaserJet 1020” or “HP LaserJet 1020 driver” into the Yandex search bar and the first item in the search results is to go to the HP support site, where we will see a list of options downloading drivers for the LaserJet 1020 printer for different operating systems with different bit depths (32 or 64 bits). Download it and install it, remembering to follow the recommendations described above.

How to connect an HP printer?
Connecting an HP printer is inherently a fairly simple procedure, but some users may still have difficulties connecting a printer from this company. We will look at connecting an hp printer in more detail.
Setting up and connecting an hp printer
First you need to connect the USB cable that comes with the printer to the input on the back of the printer and the USB port of your computer. Then you will need to press the power button and wait until one indicator lights up. Be sure to make sure that no other indicators on the device are lit. The computer should automatically detect your printer. After this, you will need to install the driver.
Downloading a driver for an hp printer
- Due to the fact that, as a rule, hp printers require driver installation for setup, you need to download the driver from the official HP website. It is not recommended to do this on third-party sites - there is a risk of downloading malware.
- In the menu that appears, you will need to select your printer model. Click "OK" and go to the next menu, where you will be offered programs to download.
- The download will need to be done based on the bit size of your operating system, namely 32 or 64 bit.
- Among them, you will need to select the base driver.
- Click "download" and wait for the driver to download.
Driver installation
After downloading the driver, you will need to install it.
- To do this, click on the driver shortcut and wait for the automatic installation.
- After this, you need to disconnect the USB cable from the computer, as this may cause the printer to malfunction.
- At the last stage of installation, the program will ask you to connect the cable. Connect and wait for the installation to complete.
- Once the driver is installed, click "Set Up Printer" and the Setup Wizard will configure the printer automatically.
- If you are unable to connect the printer, try resetting the settings by holding down the power button on the printer panel for ten seconds (or until the signal beeps).
With the basic driver, you can enable basic printer functions. In order to use other functions, you will need to download additional software, which can be found on the HP website (link given above).
If any errors occur during driver installation or operation of your printer, we recommend contacting support. It is strongly recommended not to use special firmware that can be found on the Internet, as these programs can cause the printer to malfunction and even cause it to break. You can download additional software on the HP website in the "automated utilities" section.
HOW TO INSTALL THE PRINTER
Microsoft has released the next Windows, namely WINDOWS7. Thanks to some obvious advantages of the new version, XP and Vista users increasingly began to switch to WINDOWS7. It has an almost identical interface to Vista and the speed of operation as XP. WINDOWS7 has many advantages compared to previous versions of Windows, in particular it includes built-in drivers for printers, which will be discussed in this material. So, let's figure out how to install the HP LaserJet 3052 printer.
Click “Start.”
Select "Devices and Printers"
Right-click on the empty field and call up the context menu, in which we select “Add printer”
Then select “Add a local printer”
If there is no such port or another one that you need, you can create it. To do this, select “Create a new port” And in our case we create it as USB. Simply by writing its name.
Let's go further, in the next window a list of printer manufacturers and their various models will open. From this list, select the manufacturer and brand of the printer.
If there is no driver for your printer in this list, you can try to install it from the boot disk that came with the printer (install from disk) or run Windows Update (unlikely, but sometimes it helps).
After this choice, you can continue installing the printer and after the driver is completely installed, connect the printer itself and Windows will find it itself. Or you can connect it now and continue installing firewood for the printer.
Further 
As a result, in the “Devices and Printers” folder we see a fully installed and ready-to-use HP LaserJet 3052 PCL5 printer
R/S. If you already have drivers for Windows 7 coming right away (for example, with a laptop), and you cannot install some kind of printer due to the lack of a USB driver in the system, 7 has such a sin, then simply install this driver again from the disk that comes with laptop. Insert the USB cable into the laptop with the printer turned on and restart the laptop and the system itself should find your printer.
There is another option for installing the printer:Remove the printer from the system if it was previously installed unsuccessfully. After that, if you want to install from a proprietary disk, insert it without connecting the printer, install the printer, and only then connect it. If you want to connect to XP without a proprietary drive, then first connect all the cables, and only then turn it on. Then everything will be picked up automatically.
Installing HP printers is usually no different from installing printers of other brands, but setting them up often causes great difficulties for many users. To simplify setup, use our recommendations.
We'll look at how to properly connect an HP printer and how to install basic printer drivers without a disk. This manual is suitable for many modern HP models. The setup will be performed for Windows 7. Note that it is also suitable for earlier versions of Windows operating systems.
Connecting and setting up an HP printer
In order to connect the printer, you need to use a USB cable: just connect the USB cable to the printer input and the USB port of the computer. The computer will detect the connected device automatically. Next you will need to configure it.
- Press the power button on your printer. You need to make sure that your printer's other lights are off.
- First you need to download the driver. You will see a search bar where you can enter the name of your printer model.
- Next, you will need to select your operating system. Click the "Next" button and go to the software selection menu.
- Since you need a base driver, click on the "Base Driver" button. You will see a download page for it. Click the “Download” button and wait for the program to download. Once the driver download is complete, you need to install it.
- To do this, click on the driver icon and the installation will begin automatically. Please note the message that you must disconnect the cable before installing the driver. This is necessary for correct driver installation.
- Driver installation consists of eight steps. Once the seventh step is completed, the installer will ask you to connect the USB cable.
- Connect the printer to your computer and wait until the installation is complete.
- Once the installation is complete, you will need to click on “Set Up Printer”. The setup wizard will do everything automatically.
Please note that this driver only allows you to use the basic functions of your printer, such as printing, scaling, and printing multiple images. To take advantage of other features of your printer, you will need to download other drivers. This can be done, again, on the HP website (link given above) in the software selection menu.
In particular, you may need full-featured software. Pay attention to the paragraph “Important notes on working with the Windows XP operating system.” We do not recommend downloading drivers from third-party sites, as they may damage the operation of your printer and may even turn out to be malware. We also do not recommend downloading so-called printer firmware, which is designed to “help” the user bypass the printer’s protection system against unlicensed software.
Possible problems with printer installation
Some users experience printer malfunctions after installing the basic driver. If such problems have befallen you, then you should contact HP support using the above link. Go to the Frequently Asked Questions section. There you will find your printer model and problems that may have occurred with it.
If you cannot find the printer model you need, contact the company's specialists. You can also refer to the solution to the problem by clicking on the corresponding button.
On the HP website you can find information about your printer and instructions on how to improve its performance.
If your printer is telling you that you need to install certain utilities, you can do so by going to the Automated Utilities section. You can also install the necessary programs from the disk included in the package.
You can find more information in the articles.
You will need
- Typically, when purchasing a printer, a driver is included with it on a CD. This disk will be required when installing the driver. If you have lost it, or for some other reason this disk is missing, this program must be downloaded from the printer manufacturer’s website.
Instructions
If you don't have a CD with drivers, you'll have to look for them on the manufacturer's website. On the case there is always information about the company that produced it and which one it is. Using search engines, find the manufacturer's website. On this site you need to find your model in the sections “users”, “file archive”, “”. After you have found your model, you will need to select the system for which you are downloading the driver. Having selected it, download the program offered by the manufacturer. It should be noted that often the drivers that you can find on websites are released later than the drivers included with the equipment upon purchase. This allows the manufacturer to correct some errors in previous versions, use more modern printing technologies, increase speed and make new drivers more informative. Always, if possible, download updated drivers from the manufacturer’s websites.
Now that you have the program or CD, launch the installation either by double-clicking on the downloaded file, or by simply inserting the disk into the drive. The installer will ask you to select a folder in which to install its files. Most often, there is no need to change the path where it is installed by default. When the program asks you to connect the printer, connect it to the USB port of your computer and turn it on. The installation will continue automatically.
Sometimes after installing drivers you need to restart your computer. Do this if the installer asks you to do so.
note
Do not connect the printer to your computer before installing the driver! Do this only when you receive a message about this from the installer, or after installing the driver.

How to install the printer correctly?
In order to install the printer correctly, it is important to strictly adhere to a certain order:
- We load the full software of the printing device from the disk included in it, and then turn it off.
- We connect the printer to the computer via a cable.
- Install the appropriate cartridges. In this case, the device must be turned on before inserting it into the inkjet printer. This will allow the carriage to snap into place. Before installing the cartridge into the laser printer, the block with ink powder must be shaken well. This will ensure the powder is distributed evenly and the print will be uniform. After inserting the cartridge, the printer should be turned off.
- We put paper into the device tray after flipping through it. This measure will help to avoid paper creasing and jamming, because an air gap will appear between the individual sheets.
- Turn on the computer and printer. The operating system detects the new device and initiates its operation. Some manufacturers include special testing programs in the printing device software. Thanks to such products, you can identify errors in cartridge insertion or driver installation.
- Printing a test page.
