Welcome to the HP User Community.

 

The old computer likely had old printer software for your older printer.

 

There are not any HP print drivers listed for this printer and Windows 10.

Reference > Software and drivers for HP Photosmart C4385 All-in-One Printer 

 

Instead the instructions direct you to install the Windows built-in print drivers.

 

HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver

Scan?  See Section FAQ > How do I use the printer functions with the built-in driver?

Example

Scan documents and photos: Complete scan jobs with a Windows app that works with the built-in driver.

  • Windows Fax and Scan: In Windows, search for and open Windows Fax and Scan. Click New Scan, and then select your printer.
  • Windows Paint: In Windows, search for and open Paint. Click FileFrom scanner or camera.
  • Windows Scan app: In Windows, search for and open the Windows Scan app. If it is not listed, go to Windows Scan (in English) to install it.
