How to Install an HP L7555 Printer

The USB cord should not be an extra purchase.

Installing an HP L7555 printer is fairly easy to do, no matter if the driver is downloaded or on the prepackaged CD. The HP L7555 is an all-in-one printer, which makes it a versatile machine. It can not only print, but photocopy and send faxes. HP recommends downloading the driver if you have bought the printer used, and the CD if you bought it new, at a retailer. At issue would be how current the driver software is.

Things You'll Need

• USB cord

Instructions

Install from the Product CD

1. Insert the HP disk into your CD drive. This disk should have been provided in the printer's packaging.

2. Wait for the installer to open. If it does not, navigate to the disk drive through the Windows symbol at the bottom left of your computer screen.

3. Follow the steps the installer provides, and select whether you want a custom or standard installation. The wizard will prompt you as to when the USB cord should connect the HP with the computer.

Downloading and Installing

1. Visit the HP website and locate the L7555 software if the CD is lost or not functioning

2. Choose between basic and full feature downloads. The "basic" option is severely limiting to only a few essential functions and is not recommended even by HP.

3. Click to download and wait for the file transfer to complete.

4. Open the newly downloaded folder and locate the .exe file. Double-click it and run it.

5. Follow the wizard's installation directions. This will involve accepting the license agreement, choosing between a recommended or custom installation and connecting the USB cord from the printer to the computer.

Tips & Warnings

• The L7555's driver has been bundled into Windows 7. So, if you are using that operating system, there is no need to install it.
