Printers are a useful device to have at home, and HP is a popular printer manufacturer whose products can be purchased at almost any large store. HP printers come in a variety of formats, and generally come with installation CD's. These CD's contain the software and device drivers required to have the printer communicate with the computer in order to work properly. Upon installation of the software and drivers you can configure your print settings and run a trial test to ensure the printer is working properly. However, if you need to re-install the printer and cannot locate the CD's, you can generally locate the drivers and required software online at the HP's website.
Locate the model number of your HP printer. Generally the model number of your HP printer can be located on the front left hand side of your printer.
Navigate to the HP website. On the home page of the website, in the left hand navigation menu, select the 'Printers & All In Ones' hyperlink.
Scroll halfway down the page on the Printers & All In Ones page and select the 'Software and Drivers' link from the right hand navigation menu. This link will be located under the subheading titled Award-Winning Support.
Enter your printer model number in the text area and hit the Enter button on your keyboard. On the next page a prompt will ask you to select your operating system.
Identify and download the software you need from the list that is populated. You will be presented with Driver, Update, and Utility software. For installation purposes you will only need the Driver software. Click on the appropriate links to download and save the software to your computer.
Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to properly install and configure the device drivers for your HP printer. Once the installation is complete, try and print a document as a trial run to ensure that your printer is functioning properly.

HP offers two methods to replace the installation software for your HP printer in case you lose the copy you have. HP's support site can help you identify your printer model and either order a replacement installation CD-ROM or download the software found on the installation disc to your computer. The download option is free, but the replacement disc option has a fee attached to it.
Printer Identification
Different printer models use different software and drivers, so it's necessary to identify the printer model to find the correlating replacement software. Typically, the printer will have the model name on the front of the unit, but you can also check the printer cartridges for the number. HP offers a software download (link in Resources) that can identify all HP products connected to the computer. If you download, install and run this software from the HP site, it will tell you the printer's model name. This process works best if the printer is directly connected to the computer. If you have more than one HP printer connected to the computer, remove all but the one you wish to identify.
Support Site
HP's support site (link in Resources) can direct you to the software replacement page for your printer if you enter the printer model name and number in the search bar. If you have an incomplete name or number, the site will suggest several possible models with photographs to help you identify your model.
Order a Replacement Disc
The main page for the printer on HP's support site includes a link called 'Order Physical Media - CD/DVD/USB.' This is where the printer's physical replacement software can be found. Some printers have expansive software that won't fit on a CD-ROM and instead come on either a DVD or USB flash drive. Click on the physical media option you want to go with and follow the on-screen instructions to order and pay for a replacement disc.
Burn a Replacement Disc
Downloading the software and burning your own replacement CD may seem like a more viable option if you have high-speed Internet access and a writable disc drive. You can find the downloadable version of your printer's software and firmware on the HP support site page for your printer. You can download and install both of these programs along with any updates HP has issued since releasing your printer and diagnostic tools. All of these programs can be burned to the same disc for backup purposes, but they can be installed directly from the computer in lieu of a writable optical drive. The driver-product installation link contains all the software necessary for your computer to run the printer. The firmware updates the program on the printer itself. You can burn these files to a writable optical disc after downloading them through Windows Explorer's disc-authoring program.
