Where can I get a Windows 7 compatible HP 900 Inkjet printer driver?
I downloaded the driver directly from the HP website. I open the .exe file, it shows the extracting process but the printer doesn't show up in the "Devices and Printers" folder. The printer's plugged in but Windows Update didn't offer any drivers. It recognized the printer but its status was "Needs troubleshooting" I searched online for drivers, still nothing. I tried setting the compatibility to windows vista and windows xp on the .exe file I got from HP, it still didn't work.

- Are you sure windows update doesn't show one? Connect your printer and see if Windows finds a default driver it can use. Or open Windows Update and search for updates with the printer installed, it may offer a driver.
- Did it recognize an unknown USB when inserting the Printer? try going to your device manager and look if its detected or not. Maybe your Printer is the problem because almost all drivers that was made from xp can run in win 7. Set also the compatibility mode in windows xp sp3 or any in file properties.
- Well there are basically two options. 1. Search far and wide for the drivers on the merchant websites. 2. Download software that will find the right drivers and install them all automatically. I used to do it on my own until I discovered how easy it was to download drivers with driver update software. My favorite program is available at: http://www.best-driver-updater.com/
