OfficeJet 6958
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My OfficeJet printer recently went into an "Error State", after several times at uninstalling and reinstalling the print driver, I now get a message saying the the "driver cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed or not signed in the appropriate manner."  I've gon through the Scan/Print Doctor process as well, all to no avail.

 

Any suggestions as to what can be done to fix this will be much appreciated.
