Printers are often the heart of every home and office setup in this modern age. For everything that connects to our system's, there is a need for drivers for that particular device in order for the OS to recognize and communicate with the device and vice versa such that the component/hardware is functioning optimally. This tutorial will help you install drivers necessary for your HP LaserJet printer.

    ■Open your web browser and type http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers into the address bar.

    ■In the Enter my HP model number section please add your model number. For this example we're using an HP LaserJet Printer with model number LaserJet Pro P1102w
