Find the model number and brand of the printer, go to the manufacturer's website, such as hp.com or canon.com or lexmark.com, click support and drivers, type in the model number of your printer, and you'll have the option of downloading the newest software and drivers for the operating system you have.

Hi Aliya,
FixYa wants to know whether the driver is for Desktop or Notebook.
If for Desktop, we need
* The Motherboard Model and Number. * The type of Operating System installed.
For Notebook, we need
* The Notebook Model number with Manufaturer Name. * The type of Operating System installed.

FixYa is ready to help, if only you provide the complete details about the problem in the system.

Thank you for using FixYa

Hey hows it going just to give you a heads up the best way to ask for drivers is give us the name and model number of the thing you want a drivers for and the operating system you want the drivers for.

Really sorry cant help. Any way hope this helps for next time best of luck.

If you have done an clean installation of the operating system then you need to install the drivers using the CD which came along with your laptop or desktop at the time when you had purchased the computer. if you have not got the Driver CD then visit your computer manufacturers website and download the drivers by entering your computers make andthe model numbers and choose the operating system that should take care of the problem.

Please do feel free to reply back if you need any more assistance. Please do not forget to mention your Computer make and the model number along with the Operating system installed.

You would need to give at least the following details, for anybody to be able to help:-
What is the hardware (manufacturer, hardware model number, type of hardware) What operating system your computer is using (Windows XP, VISTA, Linux etc.)

for example,
I need the driver for an SiS 661FX onboard video card, to run in Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed.
SiS = hardware chipset manufacturer 661FX = model of the actual hardware (100% essential that this is the exact model number) Onboard = some types of hardware are built-in to a PC (onboard), and others are separate parts. Video Card = the type of hardware, usually video, sound, USB, printer etc. Windows XP = the operating system the driver is matched to. Service Pack 2 = the main system update last installed (essential on most operating systems)

If you have just reinstalled an operating system, and most likely just need 'all' of the drivers for your computer, then it's much easier to let somebody here know what computer you have - this will either be a model number on the case itself, or inside its case, there will be a model number written on the mainboard inside.
The location can vary but usually looks a bit like this example:

The mother board of any hardware don't request for product keys. Probably your Operating System or software for your device have expired because it was not activated.

Old or discontinued model of any PCs can still be install or loaded with any Operating System whether it is Windows or Open source OS.

The product key is probably the keys for the operating system!! But you must know which version of the OS being install on your system.

What manufacturer of computer? What model-number?
What manufacturer of motherboard? What model-number?

If the computer has a "Designed for Vista" sticker on it,
it's possible that the manufacturer did not write/release device-drivers for the "older" Windows XP operating system.

If the computer has a "Designed for Windows 7" sticker on it,
it's possible that the manufacturer did not write/release device-drivers for the "older" Windows Vista operating system.

Have you checked the manufacturer's web-site?

The model number for the laptop should be on the bottom of the laptop. As well so should the license key for the operating system. Depending on the operating system and/or the manufacturer it may also be in a file on the laptop itself.
