What passes for "support" says I need a "CP1510 Toolbox FX" but there is none

[dick_freebird]

What remains for support on this printer, says I need to have

the "CP1510 Toolbox FX" to do any printer maintenance. This

is not found by any searching. The present-day HP print / scan

"doctor" has nothing for the internal cleaning modes of this

printer. The "Virtual Assistant" may be virtual, but assistance

there is none. I guess keeping old Laserjets alive is bad for

business.

But guess what... so is utter lack of support for legacy hardware.

Can anyone get me to a Windows 10 64-bit version of that

product-specific management software? Not the modern-day

substitutes. None of the ones listed on the product (CP1510 family)

downloads, are what I'm told (by stale "archived" forum posts

and the product manual) I need. Check it out:

Solution six: Clean inside the printer

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality issues such as toner specks, smears, or marks. To resolve this issue, follow these steps to clean inside the printer using ToolboxFX.

note:

This solution might require the full HP software. If you did not install the full software when you installed your printer, right-click the following link to go to the Software and Drivers page to download and install it now.

1. Open ToolboxFX.
   • Windows XP: Click Start (), click Programs, click HP, click your printer, and then click HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series ToolboxFX.
   • Windows Vista: Click the Windows icon (), click All Programs, click HP, click your printer, and then click HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series ToolboxFX.
2. Click the Device Settings folder, and then click the Services page.
3. In the Cleaning Mode area, click Start to begin the cleaning process.
   A page feeds through the printer slowly. Recycle or discard the page when the process ends.
4. Try printing again.

Now the problem is, every link to this software has been changed

to a "redirect" which has nothing for this. Nothing.

Where can I get this software in a Win10 (or compatibility mode that

will work under Win10 64 bit) version? Or, why not?

That printer model is obsolete to be fully supported in WIN10.

I suggest that you try the Vista 64 full install. 

[dick_freebird]

The software has been removed for all OSes.

Obsoleting software is a deliberate act which forces customers

to buy new hardware. And so is "updates" which enable you to

"brick" printers for not buying overpriced cionsumables direct.

So I have gone and bought new hardware.

From Canon.

Because the only thing better than no support is self righteous

lack, of. And the only thing even better than that, is deliberately

taking away support in pursuit of unnecessary new product sales.

So you get none, no more, never again.

Will you learn a thing? Probably not. But at least you will no longer

be a pain to my business.
