Cannot with any HP tools get an HP Officejet 6210 to function.

[Me6210]

I have used all of the tools that HP seems to have and I cannot get drivers loaded on my laptop in order to get the 6210 installed.  I have used HPPSdr.exe and it sees the printer via USB and then later when I try to install the printer it says cannot connect with the USB.  Out of the giant list of Windows 10 printers that have drivers the 6210 is not listed.  I guess I will just throw the thing away.  I do not have the installation disk because the printer was given to me.  I have never heard of a printer of this vintage with all of the functions it has not being compatible with Windows 10.

Hi @Me6210,

I'd like to help!

HP Officejet 6210 All-in-One Printer driver for windows 10 is not available. However, you can print using Windows built-in drivers. Follow the steps below:

•    Go to Control Panel - Devices and printers - Click on "Add printer" and follow the on-screen instructions.

•    When the page prompts for the drivers, select "Windows update". The driver list will be updated.

•    Click HP, Hewlett Packard, or Hewlett-Packard in the Manufacturer pane, and then click the name of your printer in the Printers pane.

Refer to this document HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver for help.

Note: If the printer is not found in the list, try Deskjet 990c or Deskjet 6980 to install the printer as these are the generic printer drivers.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
