Step-by-step help for HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw Drivers & Software.
Use HP’s official M255dw software page
For the HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw, start with HP’s official driver page rather than a third-party download site. HP currently provides model-specific software and lets you select the operating system before showing available downloads.
The available categories can include the full software solution, basic drivers, HP Universal Print Driver options and firmware. What you see can change by operating system, so HelpMyTechs does not treat an old download list as permanent.
Choose the software that matches what you need
- Normal setup: use HP’s recommended setup/software option for your current operating system.
- Driver-only installation: check HP’s Basic Drivers section when you do not need the full software package.
- Managed or business environments: HP also lists Universal Print Driver options where applicable.
- Firmware: treat firmware separately from the print driver and follow HP’s current instructions before updating it.
Check your operating system before downloading
HP’s M255dw driver page asks you to identify the operating system and version. That matters because a download shown for one Windows version should not automatically be assumed to be the right package for another platform.
If your operating system is not listed by HP, do not substitute a random driver from another website. Check HP’s current support options or the operating system’s built-in printing support instead.
If the printer is already installed but not printing
A driver reinstall is not always the first fix. The M255dw supports USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi, so first check whether the computer can still reach the printer through the connection you actually use. For a networked M255dw, its Network Summary and Wireless Network Test can help separate a connection problem from a software problem.
