HP Smart Tank 596 Driver Download

HP Smart Tank 596 Driver helps the computer communicate correctly with this all-in-one printer. After setup, Windows can send print jobs to the ink-tank print engine and receive scan input from the built-in scanner. Copying works from the printer itself, so the driver mainly keeps computer-based printing and scanning tied to the correct device functions. A nearby computer can connect through USB, and wireless setup lets the printer receive jobs over a network connection.

HP Smart Tank 596 Specifications

The HP Smart Tank 596 is a refillable ink-tank all-in-one with print, scan, and copy functions. Printing comes from HP Thermal Inkjet hardware and four bottled inks: one black bottle plus cyan, magenta, and yellow colour bottles. The control panel carries a 1.2-inch iCON LCD with 33 segments. Scanning relies on a CIS flatbed, and copy jobs use that same flatbed scan path before printing the duplicate.

Black print resolution reaches up to 1200 x 1200 rendered dpi. Colour output can reach up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi when printing from a computer. On A4 paper, ISO speed is 10 ppm in black and 5 ppm in colour; draft mode raises that to 22 ppm black and 16 ppm colour. First-page timing is 14 seconds for black and 21 seconds for colour. The flatbed scans at up to 1200 dpi.

Paper feeds from a 100-sheet input tray, and finished pages collect in a 30-sheet output area. The paper path accepts plain sheets, photo paper, envelopes, cards, labels, and brochure paper. Standard sizes include A4, B5, A6, DL envelope, and legal. Custom paper can measure from 88.9 x 127 mm to 215.9 x 355.6 mm. Borderless printing reaches up to 8.5 x 11 inches, but two-sided pages must be turned manually.

A nearby computer can connect through Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Wireless printing uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, with Wi-Fi Direct available for a direct wireless link. Mobile printing works through the HP app, AirPrint, Mopria, and the HP Android plugin. No Ethernet port is listed for wired networking. With the trays closed, the body measures 434.66 x 361.53 x 157.26 mm and weighs 5.03 kg. The monthly duty cycle reaches up to 3,000 A4 pages, with 400 to 800 pages listed as the recommended monthly volume.
