Hi, As OEM HP is responsible for the proper operation of the printer and their supplied drivers. Check with HP Support, their on-line documentation and drivers, and ask in their forums. The HP site shows how to use the printer. HP DeskJet 815c HP DeskJet 815c - more information = HP Support & Drivers Contact HP HP Forums Hope this helps.

H ello, First you might keep windows update regularly to obtain the latest driver for your device. Note: Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published; however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version.

Top match for your HP Deskjet 825c printer. Systems with Intel 6th Gen and other future-generation processors on systems shipping with Windows 7.

In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error. If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the XP driver in Compatibility mode.

This package supports the following driver models:hp deskjet 825c series. Does anyone know a work-around for getting an HP deskjet 825c to fully function in Windows 7 64? Right now I have installed as a generic printer, text only and am.

Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file ->Properties and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows XP in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver. In addition, you can use the Windows Vista driver for testing. Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; you might wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver.

Thanks for your time and understanding! For more details, please l ook at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum. This will give you some guidelines. As Kx250 said, you can try installing XP drivers (64-bit, if your're running x64); you may need to install them in Compatibilty mode (for XP.) No guarantees, though. Honestly, though, HP isn't going to write drivers for it - they don't even support that printer at all under Vista. In other words, HP has abandoned your product.

It's so abandoned, their last XP driver update was published December 200 1.:( And, unfortunately, HP doesn't list a 'workaround driver' for your printer (under Vista), either. Google search has also turned up nothing.

Frankly, the thing is old. That HP is no longer supporting the printer is their right. Songs From Tamil Movie Kadhalan. You might not like that, but, the thing is close to 10 years old. HP probably didn't expect them to last a decade.;) Time, methinks, for a new printer.

That you found a viable workaround is great.

Better still that you shared it here - it'll (hopefully) help others out in the future. My earlier point was this, though: it wasn't an MS issue that you had with the printer.

Rather, it was an HP issue. I never said that I fully agreed with their decision to not support the printer.
