Doesnt look like they bothered with drivers. Best bet would be to call HP.

win 8

I assume you mean Windows 7.

Have you tried telling Windows to find/use its own drivers? I know that the Windows 7 driver libraries already contain drivers for a lot of the older HP printers.

oops yeah windows 7 I'll try the windows drivers again thanks for the help

dont know if you got it sorted, but they haven't got the drivers listed for windows 7 or vista (unless im looking at the wrong model), you can prob get way with using the windows XP drivers but you will have to manually install them from the device manager - worth a try to be honest

if you need some help, PM me!

here is the link for the XP driver
