Deskjet 3520 series Driver

The Deskjet 3520 series driver helps Windows communicate with your HP Deskjet 3520 series all-in-one printer for printing and, with compatible scanning software, scanning tasks. You may need it when setting up the device, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a printer that is not detected. Although sometimes listed under Camera, this device is a printer and scanner, so choose a package intended for the Deskjet 3520 series.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Enables compatible Windows applications to send documents and photos to the printer.
• Print settings: Provides access to supported options such as paper size, print quality, and color preferences.
• Scanning support: A full-feature software package may include tools for scanning documents and images; a basic print driver may not.
• Connection setup: Depending on the package, setup software can help configure a USB connection or connect the printer over a wireless network.

How to Install Deskjet 3520 series Driver

1. Check your Windows edition and system type. For a Deskjet 3520 series driver download for Windows, match the package to Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, as applicable, and confirm whether your system requires a 32-bit or 64-bit driver. For Windows 10/11 systems, verify compatibility separately rather than assuming a Windows 10 package supports Windows 11.
2. Choose the appropriate package. Select a basic driver for printing or a full-feature package if available and needed for scanning. Look for the latest version compatible with your operating system, not simply the newest package listed.
3. Obtain the installer from a trusted source. HP drivers are normally available as a free download; avoid installers that require payment or bundle unrelated software.
4. Run the installer and follow the prompts. Turn on the printer, and connect the USB cable only when instructed. For wireless setup, ensure the computer and printer can communicate on the same network.
5. Restart if requested, then print a test page. If you installed scanning components, test a scan as well. Check the selected printer and connection settings if either task fails.

Keep your driver updated when a compatible update addresses a problem or supports a system change. Before you install a replacement, review its operating-system requirements, especially for older Windows releases where newer packages may no longer be supported.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Uninstall any existing HP Deskjet 3520 series software, reboot, then run the downloaded driver as administrator. Disconnect the USB cable until setup prompts for it.
• Printer not detected: Connect USB directly to the PC, not a hub. Power-cycle the printer. For wireless, confirm the printer is on the same 2.4 GHz network and run HP Print and Scan Doctor.
• Driver version conflicts: In Devices and Printers, remove duplicate Deskjet 3520 queues. Delete old HP drivers via Print Server Properties, then reinstall the latest full-feature driver.
