You can **download HP printer software for free** directly from the official HP website or trusted app stores. HP offers two main software types: printer drivers (which help your computer communicate with the printer) and printer management software, like HP Smart or HP Printer Assistant, which provide printing, scanning, and device management features[2].

Here are the best options for free HP printer software downloads:

– **HP official site:** Visit the HP Customer Support – Software and Driver Downloads page, enter your printer model, and download the latest drivers and software compatible with your operating system[2].

– **HP Smart app:** Available for Windows, Android, and iOS, HP Smart lets you set up, print, scan, and manage your printer from your mobile device or PC. It is free and has a high user rating[3][5].

– **Third-party sites:** Some offer driver updates like “HP All In One Printers Driver Update,” but it’s safer to rely on HP’s official downloads or reputable sources like DriverHub, which also hosts genuine HP drivers for Windows 11, 10, etc.[1][4]

For straightforward and secure installation, the HP official resources or the HP Smart app from Microsoft Store or Google Play are recommended. This ensures you get the latest updates and full functionality without risk[2][3][5].
