Welcome to the HP English Community --
True - there is a point when there are no longer HP drivers or software updates for a device.
When that happens depends on the device.
Unless the product stops working, lack of new / updated drivers or software does not mean you must stop using the product.
Lack of updates does mean the product is aging --
If you care to do so, perhaps it is time to start looking for new tech.
Should your computer be running a supported version of Windows,
Check for available OS updates in Windows Updates.
That might be enough.
Obsolete is different from Retired.
When HP removes all documentation and support for a major device type, for example, a computer or printer, the device is added to the Retired Products database.
