HP J4580 Software Install Problems

Hello, Everyone!!
I'm writing as I have had trouble with my HP J4580 printer's software, and had downloaded the recent version 13. 0. It will complete a lot of the steps successfully, but when it comes to the driver it'll say "No driver Found," and won't finish installing the software. Though checking device manager it says " device working properly," and I guess, by going to Hardware & Devices and double clicking the printer icon and choosing to print from the Win 7 window it will, but to use the supplied software with my printer is frustrating as far as setup is concerned. Any ideas as to what I can do prior to installing the software?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

I've never installed an HP all-in-one on a Win7 system. (What OS are you actually using?)

If it's like a printer, though, you're supposed to start the installer with the device disconnected, and only connect it when the installer requests it. There also may be a checkbox to install the drivers without having the printer attached at all. (The driver installation completes when you connect the printer.)

Hello, Everyone!!
Just a quick note to say thank you very much for all of your help. I am actually using Wn 7, but had put Vista back on to see if the printer would respond the same way. I found that it was an easy setup with Vista, but not until the other day did i try to update it with service pack 1 and then upgrade to keep my settings in tact!FINALLY,lol, after everything was updated...I took my Win 7 driver disk hoping this time it would complete every step with out much hassle, and this time it did!

So in short it could've been fixed sooner if I racked my brain more, but again the advice was very appreciated thanks!

Have an awesome week!
