The HP Deskjet 1050 Driver - is a free application developed by HP to help make it easier for users to control various features and functions of the printer via a laptop or PC. Without the driver, some features and functions in the printer usually cannot be controlled properly, in some cases even the laptop or computer cannot detect the printer at all.
Therefore, before using the printer to print, first install the driver on the computer that will be used to control so that all the functions and features embedded in it can run properly.
HP itself actually has provided a driver CD that is included in the purchase box, but because it is rarely used the CD is usually lost or even damaged. If you encounter this problem, don't worry because you can still install the driver without a CD using the installation file provided here.
By using the installation file, you can install drivers more easily and practically, you can even install them directly on a computer or laptop that is not equipped with a CD room. The HP Deskjet 1050 itself is an all-in-one driver that can not only be used for printing but can also be used for scanning and copying.
Driver Type HP Deskjet 1050
Unlike other printer brands where users need to install different drivers for print and scan, a single driver file here will automatically install print and scan drivers.
HP provides two types of drivers that you can choose according to your needs, namely the Basic version which only installs the driver, and the Full version which can be used to install drivers and other printer support software.
If you only need a driver, use the Basic version, while if you need drivers and other printer support software, you can use the Full version.
The driver files available here are also compatible with various versions of Windows ranging from Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, to Windows 10 whether it's the 32-bit or 64-bit versions.
