I recently changed my computer and now I have Windows 10 64-bit.

 

I need driver for my old printer HP psc 1210 all-in-one but the link in your answer (http://hp.care/2jksIOz) doesn't work anymore .

 

Can you help me, please?

 

Greetings

There is some confusion and just plain incorrect information in the links you gave. I posted a correction on the Microsoft page.  The HP document referenced (and misinterpreted) does list the PSC 1200 driver as available in Windows Update for Windows 10.

 

If Windows Update is not working (it is currently broken for me as well) I would suggest downloading the driver from the Microsoft Catalog Update site here: http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=HP%20PSC%201200 There are a number of drivers listed, the one you want for Windows 10 x64 would be the one 11.6Mb in size. Click the Download link to the right for this file.  This will open a new window, click on the Cab file link which will download the file. 

 

Once the file is downloaded open the cab file and extract its contents to a temporary directory.  Next use the "Add Printer" and "Have Disk" options.  Browse to the directory where you downloaded the file and select the PSC 1200 from the list.

The steps in the document here show how to install the built-in drivers in Windows 10 x64 for your HP PSC 1210.

Thank you for your help, I followed your instructions, but didn't work: Windows Update reports impossible to find pudates.

 

So I tried "Device manager + Update driver" (this way: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028443/windows-update-drivers-in-windows-10) but also reports error = "Driver update fails HP PSC 1200 series - Error 0x80240061".

 

I have found this: (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/driver-update-fails-hp-psc-120...😞

 

HP abandoned that printer after Windows XP. The last driver was issued on April 30, 2004.

 

Without support from the manufacturer, it's just a matter of time before a printer stops working properly, or stops working altogether. Be glad that your printer has worked up till now - that's quite a run!

 

 

Thank you very much anyway for your help, but I THINK I HAVE TO BUY A NEW PRINTER!!!

 

Ciao
