How to Fix "No Driver Available" Error for HP Smart Tank 7000 on Windows 11

Select Language:

Having trouble reinstalling your HP Smart Tank 7000 on your ARM-based laptop? You’re not alone. Many users face this issue when the printer is detected, but Windows can’t find the proper driver after entering the WPS PIN.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you get your printer working smoothly:

First, make sure your printer is fully powered on and connected to your Wi-Fi network. If the connection seems unstable, restart your router and the printer to refresh the network connection.

Next, remove the printer from your list of devices. You can do this by going to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners, selecting your HP Smart Tank 7000, and clicking “Remove Device.”

Now, disconnect the printer from the network by pressing the wireless button, or by turning it off temporarily, then turn it back on. Also, restart your computer to clear any lingering issues.

Tie next, don’t rely entirely on Windows’ automatic driver installation. Visit HP’s official website and download the latest drivers explicitly made for your printer model and Windows 11 (ARM version). Installing these manually often resolves driver conflicts or issues.

After installing the driver, try to connect your printer again. When prompted, enter the WPS PIN provided by the printer. Make sure you’re within range of your Wi-Fi and that the network is functioning properly.

If Windows still says “no driver available,” manually select the driver during the installation process. Choose the driver you downloaded from HP’s website instead of relying on the automatic search.

Sometimes, the Windows Update can interfere with driver installations. Check for any pending updates or optional updates related to your printer or device drivers, and install them.

Once everything is set, restart your computer and try printing a test page. If it works, you’ve successfully reinstalled your printer.

If you’re still facing problems, contacting HP support can be helpful. They might have specific instructions or firmware updates compatible with your ARM-based Windows 11 system.

With a little patience and these steps, your HP Smart Tank 7000 should be up and running without hassle!
