Connectivity issue with older model printer/scanner/copier to windows 10

[Rick501]

I have an HP Deskjet F2120 All-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier and am trying to connect it to my HP Stream Laptop 14. I had the PSC connected to an older desktop  that ran XP but no longer works. The PSC still works. I downloaded the software and photosmart from HP but my laptop cannot find my printer. They are connected by a USB cable. Can anybody help?

Welcome to the HP support community.

Perform root level uninstallation to remove all the printer related software's.

• In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
• Select your HP printer.
• Select Uninstall.
• In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
• In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
• Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
• Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
