Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
The printer software is the same for supported versions of Windows - Windows 7 through Windows 11.
The software version was last updated in December 2021.
What happened?
No idea - Windows 8 is not a supported version of Windows - not sure what would have happened to cause an update to OS or printer software.
?
Try / Consider:
- Uninstall the full driver printer software from Programs and Features
- Restart the computer and log in
- If using USB, to connect the printer to the computer, disconnect the cable before installing software
- Download / Save / Install a fresh copy of the printer software
- If using USB, connect the cable when instructed to do so, near the end of the installation procedure
- After the software is installed > Restart the computer and sign in
