How to Install the HP LaserJet M1132 MFP Driver on Windows 10 (64-bit)

The HP LaserJet M1132 MFP is a compact multifunction printer (print/scan/copy) that remains popular for home and small-office use. This guide explains how to install the correct driver for Windows 10 (64-bit), troubleshoot common installation issues, and make the device work reliably.

1. Visit the official HP website (www.hp.com) and navigate to the support section.
2. Enter your printer model number, "LaserJet M1132 MFP", in the search bar and select the correct product from the list.
3. Click on the "Software and drivers" tab and select "Windows 10" as your operating system.
4. Choose the 64-bit version of the driver, as this is what you need for your system.
5. Download the driver package, which should be in the form of an executable file (e.g., ".exe").

Step 3: Verify the Installation

• Open Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
• You should see the HP LaserJet M1132 MFP icon. Right-click it and select Printer properties.
• Click the Advanced tab. Under "Driver," confirm it says something like HP LaserJet M1130 Series or HP Universal Printing PCL 6.
• Print a test page.

• No Wi-Fi – USB only (but that makes driver setup simpler).
• HP Smart app is optional – avoid bloat by using the basic driver package instead.
• Windows 10 may sometimes default to “HP M1130 Series” generic driver – scanning might need manual selection in devices.

Select Operating System: Ensure "Windows 10 (64-bit)" is selected on the download page.
