Deskjet 3650 won't run

[rr305]

I got an old Deskjet 3650. I tried connecting it to my laptop on Win. 10 and I keep getting error messages. Are there any drivers for it for someone running Win. 10. Is my search a waste of time and I should get a newer printer?

Hi @rr305

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

We do not have drivers available for HP Deskjet 3650 to be used on windows 10.

But, you can try installing the printer with windows driver-

Install the built-in print driver over a network connection with Windows 10 

1. In Windows, search for and open Control Panel.

2. Click Devices and Printers, and then click Add a printer.

   

3. On the Choose a device or printer to add to this PC window, select your printer, click Next, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver. If your printer is not in the list, continue with these steps.

   

4. Click The printer I want isn't listed, and then select Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings.

   

5. Click Next.

6. Select the port to be used by your printer, such as USB001 for a USB connected printer, and then click Next.

7. Click Windows Update, and then wait for the print drivers to update.

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

   • If your printer is in the list, select it, click Next, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

   • If your printer is not in the list, click the back arrow in the upper left corner of the window two times to return to the Find a printer by other options step, and then continue with these steps.

9. Select Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname, and then click Next.

   

10. Select Auto detect from the Device type drop-down list.

11. Type your printer IP address into the text box, and then click Next.

    To find the printer IP address, print a Wireless Network Test report or a Network Configuration page.

12. Wait for the computer to connect to the printer, and then click Next to install the print driver.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
