When you first plug the printer in via USB it should automatically install the correct driver.

printers and scanners page nut show no driver is available and also won't allow me to manually install the driver

Unplug the printer. I'm assuming it's connected via USB?

Install the UPD using the "USB mode Plug-n-Play" option.

This option will copy the drivers into the Driver Store and create a "Universal Printer" in Devices.

Plug your printer back in. Go back into Devices and go to Properties on the "Universal Printer", select the USB port (either USBxxx or DOT_4). Make any other changes as wanted (change printer name for easier recognition).

P3005 printer still shown "driver is unavailable" and I have NO option to go to printer property to point to the driver.

On this same system I was able to install the HP CP4005DN network using the HP Universal driver but the P3005 USB is not.

You are on the wrong page to change the printer driver.

Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers then you can change the driver etc.

So I went to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers then right click on the P3005 printer Icon and select property there are 2 tabs but no option on update driver or reinstall driver

When you right click on the printer in Devices, select Printer Properties.

Is there a 'Printer Properties' option?

If not, go here: HP LaserJet P3005 Printer series Software and Driver Downloads | HP(R) Customer Support and download the USB (DOT4) driver and install it.

Unplug your printer, install the USB driver and try again. I've not had to install a P3005 on a Windows 10 machine lately and can't remember if it needed the DOT4 driver installed (I know the 1320's do).

The DOT4 driver DID it. After install the dot 4 driver and re-connect the USB Cable , Windows 10 automatic installed the correct driver. Thank you Lance15!
Over 20 years working with all type of printers and I still could not install the printer driver correctly. Isn't it ironic? LOL
