HP Photosmart 5520 series Driver

The HP Photosmart 5520 series driver helps Windows communicate with your printer so you can send print jobs and access the settings available in your software package. It is useful when setting up the printer for the first time, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting printing problems.

Key Features

• Printing support: Enables compatible Windows applications to send documents, photos, and other print jobs to your HP Photosmart 5520 series printer.
• Print settings: Provides access to options such as paper size, orientation, and print quality, depending on the driver package installed.
• Connection support: Helps Windows recognize the printer over a supported USB or wireless connection when the appropriate setup components are included.
• Optional scanning tools: A full-feature software package may include scanning utilities and additional device controls; a basic print driver may not provide these features.

How to Install HP Photosmart 5520 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version. This page lists support for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Confirm whether your system uses a 32-bit or 64-bit edition before selecting a package. For Windows 10/11 systems, do not assume the same installer supports both versions—Windows 11 compatibility needs separate verification.
2. Choose the appropriate package. Before starting your HP Photosmart 5520 series driver download for Windows, check the package’s operating system requirements and whether it includes only printing support or additional software. Choose the latest version compatible with your system, and use a trusted source for a free download.
3. Prepare the printer. Turn it on and make sure it is ready. For wireless setup, connect the printer and computer to the same network. If using USB, follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect the cable.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve any Windows permission prompts, and follow the instructions to install the driver and select your connection method.
5. Test the setup. Restart your computer if requested, then print a test page. If scanning software was included, check that it can detect the device too.

Keep the driver updated to help address software issues and maintain compatibility with your Windows installation. Before applying an update, verify that it supports your exact printer series and operating system; a newer package is not necessarily suitable for older Windows versions.
