Steps
Right-click This PC on the desktop or in File Explorer and choose Properties. Scroll down to System type to see if Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit. Note it down.
Open your browser and go to support.hp.com. Search for HP Smart Tank 585 and open the printer's support page.
Check the detected operating system. If it is wrong, click Choose a Different OS, pick Windows and then Windows 10 with your 32-bit or 64-bit version. Click Update.
Scroll down and expand HP Print and Scan Full Feature Software and Driver. Click Download and wait for the file to finish. It can take 1 to 20 minutes.
Open your Downloads folder and double-click the setup file, or right-click it and choose Run as administrator. Click Yes on the prompt.
Wait 1 to 2 minutes while the file extracts. The installation wizard then opens on its own.
Accept the license agreements and click Next through each screen. Keep the default install location unless you have a reason to change it.
When asked for a connection type, choose USB and plug the cable into the PC and printer, or choose Wireless and enter your Wi-Fi name and password.
Finish the wizard and click Print a test page. If the page prints, the driver is working.
Tips and common mistakes
Download the driver only from support.hp.com so you avoid bundled junk software from third-party sites.
Match the driver to your exact Windows 10 bit version, since a 64-bit driver will not install on a 32-bit system.
Connect the USB cable only when the installer asks for it, as plugging it in early can confuse the setup.
For Wi-Fi setup, keep the printer within range of the router and have the password ready before you start.
Questions
Do I need the HP Smart app as well as the driver?
No. The full feature software and driver package covers printing, scanning and copying. The HP Smart app is optional and mainly useful for printing from a phone.
The installer cannot find my printer. What should I do?
Check that the printer is switched on and connected by USB or to the same Wi-Fi network as the PC. Then restart the installer and pick the connection type again.
Can I use this driver on Windows 11?
The steps are nearly the same, but choose Windows 11 on the HP support page if it is listed. Otherwise the Windows 10 64-bit driver usually works.
