Welcome to HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to help.

 

I understand that you have an HP Photosmart 8450 Photo Printer and it does not print from a Win10 computer. I read that the printer works fine from other computers. 

 

I did some researcha nd found that the full featured drivers are unavailable for Win10 and that could be one of the reasons for the printer not to print. However, I do have a workaround for this. You may try to install the inbuilt Windows print drivers and that should work. Please follow the steps mentioned in this lin to install the inbuilt Windows printer drivers: http://hp.care/2bYE4kP

 

NOTE: When you get the list of HP printer drivers, please select HP Deskjet 990c as the driver and continnue with the installation. 

 

I sincerely hope this fixes the issue. Let me know. All the best! 🙂
