What this guide covers: Find the correct driver for Windows and avoid mismatched or unofficial packages.
Identify the exact HP LaserJet Pro M404dw
Before installing anything, read the model number from the printer label or control panel. Closely related models can use different software packages. Select HP LaserJet Pro M404dw rather than a similarly named series.
Use the official support path
For drivers, firmware and proprietary utilities, use the manufacturer's official support resources. PrinterConfig does not redistribute manufacturer drivers. Open HP official support.
Windows setup
Start with Windows Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners → Add device. If Windows does not provide the required functionality, use the official HP package for this model.
Verify after installation
Print a Windows test page, then check paper size, orientation, color and default tray settings. If the printer appears twice, remove the stale or duplicate entry and keep the working installation.
