Product: HP Deskjet D1560
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I cleaned up an old HP DeskJet D1560 printer. When I plug it in windows says it's setting up a hp Deskjet 1500 series, however, in devices it just names it printer and says driver is unavailable, of course not letting me add a driver. I have downloaded HP UPD PCL6 and tried to use that. I have tried updating windows. I have tried adding it manually in every possible way. Nothing is working. I work in IT, so generally I know what I am doing but I am completely stumped. Is there something I'm missing?
