Why can my HP printer print from the internet but not from local programs?

Why can my HP printer print from the internet but not from local programs?

Printing from the internet uses a protocol call IPP printing... Most new shot direct cards in alien printers have this capability... As a result, no drivers are needed....



Now from your computer, you need to install the printers drivers so that the application can print to the printer.... This should be on the cd-rom shipped beside the printer or you can download it from HP website.... just step to HP website and look for drivers and software button and then type surrounded by the model of printer you have....



Hope this help...
