HP Deskjet 5520 series Driver

The HP Deskjet 5520 series driver helps Windows communicate with your HP all-in-one printer so you can print documents and photos and, with the appropriate software, use its scanning functions. You may need it when setting up the printer, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting a missing printer or failed print jobs. Although sometimes listed under Camera, the Deskjet 5520 series is a printer, not a webcam.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Enables compatible Windows applications to send print jobs to the HP Deskjet 5520 series.
• Print settings: Provides access to options such as paper size, orientation, and print quality, depending on the selected driver package.
• Scanning support: A full-feature software package may include scanning tools; a basic print driver alone may not provide them.
• Connection setup: Suitable software can help configure a USB or wireless connection, depending on the package and your printer setup.

How to Install HP Deskjet 5520 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version and architecture. Identify whether your computer uses a 32-bit or 64-bit system before choosing a download. Listed systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, but individual packages may support only some of them.
2. Choose the appropriate package. Before starting your HP Deskjet 5520 series driver download for Windows, confirm that the package matches your printer model and operating system. Select the latest version available for that combination.
3. Download from a trusted source. Use a free download from an official support source where available. Avoid installers that request payment for driver access or bundle unrelated software.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts to install the driver. Connect the USB cable when instructed, or follow the wireless setup steps with the printer and computer on the same network.
5. Test the printer. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page. If you installed scanning software, check that it can detect the device and complete a scan.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible update addresses a problem or improves reliability. For Windows 10/11 setups, check support for each operating system separately: Windows 10 compatibility does not automatically mean Windows 11 support. If your printer already works reliably, review the update details before replacing its current driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the printer, uninstall partial HP software in Apps & features, reboot, then run HP Easy Start as administrator and connect USB only when prompted.
• Device not detected: For USB, use a direct rear port and a known-good cable; for wireless, put printer and PC on the same 2.4 GHz network and add the printer by IP.
• Version conflicts: Remove old HP Deskjet 5520/HP printer entries in Device Manager and Programs, clear print queues, reboot, then install the latest full-feature package; avoid the generic Windows Update driver.
