Hello,
I've had a Deskject 6840 on my wireless network for some time and have just taken possession of a new 64-bit desktop running Windows 8.1. I tried to add the printer using the "Add Printer" facility of the Control Panel. As the 6840 did not appear in the list of HP printers I did a Windows Update only to find that it still doesn't appear in the list. I then visited the HP website and arrived at this page:
There are two downloads offered, but neither of them are the driver! I tried downloading the Printer Install Wizard, but all that told me was that the driver was missing and to use the "Add Printer" facility of Windows, which I had already done!
My old desktop is bust and I'm unable to print on the new one so am having to work on my W7 laptop. I'm getting a little exasperated. Am I going to have to buy a new printer? Has anyone got their 6840 working with Windows 8.1, if so how did you do it?
