HP Officejet Deskjet 460 Mobile Inkjet Printer
The Software and Driver Downloads page at the HP site for that device is here:

It should detect your OS automatically, but if it gets it wrong, click the Change button on the right:
Then select your OS and Version from the drop-downs that it displays. Regards, Joe

Yes, true. It would appear they have pulled the drivers as it is not a supported product. Nothing for XP or higher.

You are running W7 Pro 64-bit. Your only hopes are (1) if the drivers built into W7 support it (unlikely) or (2) the XP driver (the latest one they made) will work with it in compatibility mode (even less likely, especially since the driver is 32-bit and your W7 is 64-bit). I think you should consider a new printer — that model is circa 2005 — more than 10 years old. Regards, Joe

Ok its a plug and play and its automatically installed the driver. But a new issue is that I heard noise feeder is trying to work but its not grabbing the paper.
ASKER
and there is one orange light is blinking.
It is a very old printer and probably has a hardware fault.
ASKER
if you want to get it working, install it ona windows7 - 32 bit platform, or even vista or XP
if the printer is ok, that should work
if the printer is ok, that should work

> And the feeder also continuously making noises probably trying to feed the paper.
I recently had that problem (was worse with heavier paper) and the solution was to replace the rollers (of course, the reason that your unit is making the noise could be different from mine). The roller kit cost $75 (will likely be a different price for yours) and in my case it was worth it because it's a relatively modern, fairly expensive all-in-one device. In your case, it may be wiser to put that money towards a modern version of that device, such as the HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile Printer, which is $280 at Amazon. It has up-to-date drivers/software released in May of this year, supporting 32-bit/64-bit W7, W8/8.1, and W10. Regards, Joe

the slot looks like a card reader for 802.11g CompactFlash (Type I) Card, Secure Digital Card, Multimedia Card.

unfortunately I don't have a manual. Also I reset both cartridges but it still flashing. Do I need to hold the ON button for few seconds or something like that in order the light to go away?

This article documents all issues (and provides fixes) for the blinking lights on the 460. Give it a good read:

My guess is that you have to do some kind of a reset to let it know that there are new ink cartridges so it will stop giving the low-ink warning. But that's just a guess. I noticed that there's something called an ink service module (I don't know what it is) that may need replacing, followed by a reset of the product. In any case, a careful read of that article should provide the answers.

is that the driver is common, Pick one from your screen above and try it.
It is out of support, so drivers won't be modern.
