Many Windows users encounter the frustrating “Failed to Install Printer Driver” message when trying to set up a printer. This issue can occur on Windows 7, 10, and 11, and often leaves users unable to print or access their printer features.

According to user reports, printer driver installation failures are frequently caused by:

• Antivirus or firewall is blocking the installation

• Corrupted or outdated driver files

• Windows system conflicts or missing components

• Incorrect installation steps

Example from a user forum:

“I downloaded the latest driver for my HP LaserJet, but the installation failed repeatedly. Disabling my antivirus temporarily finally allowed the setup to complete. It seems antivirus programs often block the driver installer.”

In this guide, we will show you how to fix printer driver installation errors in seconds.

Step 1. Launch AiPrinter Fixer. If the driver installation fails, a prompt window will appear. Click on “Driver Download Folder” to access the downloaded driver files.
