Had a Windows update recently. My HP Smart Tank won't print anything. Check under printers and scanners, "driver unavailable." I've tried downloading it from HP about 3 times today, rebooted the laptop, rebooted the printer, did everything I know of, but after several minutes of spinning, it tells me it can't finish the download because of a connection problem. The printer is "seen," and will print a test page. I do have HP Smart which I use (when it's working) for many tasks. I'm not even sure the driver I'm trying to download is the proper one but there are only 1 or 2 choices. Any and all help would be appreciated as I'm dead in the water.
