How to Install HP Photosmart 5520 Driver on Windows XP

Are you having trouble installing the new HP Envy printer on your Windows XP device? You're not alone. Many users have reported issues with the installation process, but don't worry - we're here to help.

Before we begin, make sure that all the HP Envy printer entries are uninstalled from the Control Panel - Programs and Features. If you've already installed the driver, uninstall it first before proceeding. Additionally, if your printer is connected via USB, please ensure that the cable is disconnected before continuing.

To perform a clean install of the driver, follow these steps:

1. Go to Control Panel - Programs and Features and select all the HP Envy printer entries to uninstall them.

2. If you've already installed the driver, uninstall it first before proceeding.

3. Search for and open Add a printer or scanner in Windows.

4. Make sure your computer is connected to the same network as the printer.

For printers connected via Ethernet cable, follow these steps:

1. Connect the cable to the port on the rear of the printer and to an available port on the router.

2. The light on the printer will stop flashing when the connection is complete.

3. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the router until it starts blinking.

For printers without a control panel menu, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer until the light starts blinking.

2. Select your network name and enter the password to complete the connection.

For printers with a control panel menu, follow these steps:

1. Open the Wireless Setup Wizard from the Wireless, Settings, or Network Setup menu.

2. Turn on the printer and connect it to the network.

Once you've completed these steps, go to Control Panel - Devices and Printers and click on 'Add printer' to follow the on-screen instructions.

If you're still having trouble with the installation, try using the Windows built-in drivers instead of downloading the latest version from the HP website. This may resolve the issue and allow you to install the driver successfully.
