I have been using my printer with a Windows 7 laptop for several years, but recently got a new Dell desktop running Windows 10 Version 1809. When I connected the printer, Windows recognized and displayed the model correctly but indicated "Driver Unavailable." I went to the HP site which says the driver IS available. I proceeded with the download and (eventually) found and opened the executable (hp_LJP1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solution-v20120831-50157036_SMO). After a while a box came up saying "Extraction failed can not open output file."
So... we're still without a printer and looking for suggestions!

@CorneliusRW Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you are looking for printer drivers for Windows 10 operating systems.
Unfortunately, there is no specific printer driver for windows 10 operating systems.
I would suggest you try the Windows built-in drivers. Follow the steps below:
• Go to Control Panel - Devices and Printers - Click on "Add a printer" and follow the on-screen instructions.
• When the page prompts for the drivers, select "Windows update". The driver list will be updated.
• Click HP, Hewlett Packard, or Hewlett-Packard in the Manufacturer pane, and then click the name of your printer in the Printers pane.
Refer to this document HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver for help
let me know how that pans out,
And the answer to the above question will help me, help you!
Keep me posted, and if any of the above questionnaires helped resolve the issue,
Mark this post as an "Accepted Solution".
Good luck.

I understand your concerns.
As of now, there is no full feature software and drivers for this model.
You have to use the builtin drivers only.
However, We will forward this feedback to the concerned team.
Have a nice day!!
