HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 Driver

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 driver helps Windows communicate with your all-in-one printer so you can send print jobs and use supported device features. It is useful when setting up the printer for the first time, reconnecting it over a network, or resolving problems after a Windows upgrade. Choose a package that matches your Windows version and connection method before downloading.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Connect to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 over Wi-Fi or Ethernet and print from computers on the same local network.
• Print settings access: Adjust available options such as paper size, print quality, color output, and automatic two-sided printing.
• All-in-one functionality: A compatible full-feature software package may include scanning tools and additional device controls; a basic print driver may not.
• Windows compatibility: Select the appropriate package for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7. Package availability and included features can vary by operating system.

How to Install HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 Driver

1. Check your Windows edition and system type. Confirm whether your computer uses a 32-bit or 64-bit version where applicable. For Windows 10/11, check Settings > System > About.
2. Choose the correct download. Before starting your HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 driver download for Windows, verify the model and operating system listed for the package. Use a trusted HP source for a free download, and select the latest version available for your specific Windows release.
3. Prepare the printer. Turn it on and make sure it has completed startup. For a network installation, connect the printer and computer to the same local network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt, and follow the instructions to install the driver. Select the network connection option when prompted, then choose your printer from the detected devices.
5. Test the setup. Print a test page and, if scanning software was included, try a scan. If the printer is not detected, check its network connection and follow the installer’s troubleshooting guidance.

Keep your driver updated to benefit from available fixes and compatibility improvements. Check for an update if printing becomes unreliable or after a major Windows change, and confirm that any replacement package still supports your operating system before installing it.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect USB, remove old HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 entries in Printers & scanners, run the HP Smart/full-feature installer as administrator, reboot, then reconnect only when prompted.
• Printer not detected: For Wi-Fi, confirm the 8720 and PC are on the same network and use the printer’s IP for a Standard TCP/IP port. For USB, try another cable/port and use USB001 after reinstalling.
• Version conflicts/duplicate queues: Uninstall old HP drivers, clear the Print Spooler, delete stale 8720 queues, then install the latest Windows driver for your exact OS version.
