Unfortunately, the error number or message that appears was not included in your question. However, as you just installed this printer, then you would likely be correct to assume the driver did not install correctly. When this occurs the best resolution is to start with a fresh install/set up by performing the following:

Completely unplug the printer from BOTH computer/laptop and the Printer itself. (data cable and power cord)

Then, go to the Printers folder in your Control Panel and remove any driver for this printer model that may already be installed on your computer/laptop.

Now, Reboot your system. Leaving the printer off to the side for now.

After your system reboots, you can install the driver using either of these 2 options:

1. Using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows which will choose the best driver for your Operating System and install for you.

--OR--

2. Download the Printer's Driver from the HP Website yourself. The steps are below for Option 2, should you decide to install yoiurself.

(Option 2 continued) The driver for your printer can be accessed here

Once there, choose the Operating System you currently use. This will pull up a list of downloads available for you.

Choose the Driver and download it. Once complete, the install wizard should open to guide you through the installation process. Just follow the prompts to completion.

NOTE: The printer should remain disconnected until instructed to do so during the set-up process.
