Hello Wizards,

I am limited in my knowledge but my brother knows far less than me. He has bought a new laptop which has Windows 7. I think his old one had Windows XP. His printer HP C4380
won't now work. Does he need to install new drivers? If so, where would he download them from?

Many thanks in anticipation of your customary kind assistance.

Hmmmm, sorry. The HP link I included was support to go to the right download page. I must have fat fingered it. It was supposed to go to here: here.

Fixed now.
