No drivers installed message when connecting to a Win 7 shared printer from a Win 10 machine

[ryanG111]

I have a CP1210 color laserjet connected to a Win 7 Pro machine through USB and shared out on our network.  On a Win 10 machine I type in \\computer name, this pulls the printer up and then I right click on the printer and select connect.  The printe starts to install and then I get a message saying "no drivers found".  HP web site has a basic PnP driver for Win 10 but it requires that you plug the printer in though a USB.  If i move the printer to the 10 machine and install it over usb with the software when prompt it will install fine.    I can then move the printer back to the 7 machine and connect to this shared printer as the drivers are installed so I dont get the "no drivers found" message any more.  How can I avoid moving the printer back and forth to get it installed  on the Win 10 machines over our network?  We cannot access windows update on our network.  Any Thoughts?
