I have this printer LaserJet P1005, when I had Windows 7 Ultimate x64 I could print with no problems, everything was doing it's job, now when I have Windows 10 Pro x64 every time I try to print documents they are stuck in print queue. I downloaded original drivers from hp website, does anyone know what's the problem?

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor
Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to automatically diagnose and resolve printer hardware and connection issues.
Read and respond to the screens in HP Print and Scan doctor to automatically find and fix any printer problem. After you have finished using HP Print and Scan Doctor, try to print. If the print job becomes stuck again, continue to the next step.
Delete job files and restart
Reset your printing environment, delete print job files manually, and then restart both the computer and the printer.

Turn off the printer using the power button and then unplug the printer power cord from the power outlet.

In Windows, search for and open Services.

In the Services window, right-click Print Spooler, and then select Stop.

After the service stops, close the Services window.

Set up Manual IP
please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer.
The steps on how to set a manual IP address can be found here.
