It is important to keep your HP Photosmart C4280 All In One Printer product drivers up to date. The day you purchased that brand-new HP Photosmart C4280 All In One Printer, the included product drivers were out of date!

Ensuring your hardware drivers are up-to-date will ensure your product works as intended.

The quickest way to update HP Photosmart C4280 All In One Printer device drivers is with an automatic driver update tool. In just a few mouse clicks you can have the latest official HP drivers for your system and avoid the trouble of hunting for the right device drivers online. Looking for drivers online can be a time consuming task and also presents the risk of downloading and installing the inappropriate file for your PC, as well as contracting a virus or spyware infection. I couldn't even count how many computers I have found wrecked because of installing wrong device drivers. Many times turning unable to boot and requiring a complete Windows OS reinstall. Those who regard yourself technically able and want to self update the product drivers, check out the next part.
Finding Your Own Updates(Advanced)
Realize that manual device driver setups aren't always simple. The installation of the device driver alone is not commonly that hard but downloading the correct device driver might very well be. You of course you already should know the producer and version of your device. If you know the website address of the manufacturing business you can go ahead and enter that web site. In many cases the manufacturer will provide a customer support or file download area. On some sites there will be a search form where you can type your device version to look up. Once found, the page for your product type should host the up-to-date device drivers for your device. If you are having doubts about which model your product is, I highly advocate giving the automatic driver update utility a go first. If you are unable to locate a device driver, the producer may have stopped supporting the hardware. This tends to happen when the company stops supporting earlier products and expect that you are going to upgrade. You will need to utilise an automated device driver update application to gain access to driver updates in this situation.
Try going to some other driver pages in the event that you're unsuccessful at digging up the product drivers from the Hewlett Packard web site. First off, just try out a internet search for "HP Photosmart C4280 All In One Printer" drivers and find out what you get. Take caution on which pages you retrieve updates from as there is always the possibility of tainting your PC with spyware or viruses. Make sure you are downloading the appropriate hardware driver for the HP Photosmart C4280 All In One Printer or you could cause harm which can require a fresh install of your OS.
