Product: hp photosmart 8450
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Can someone please help me get my printer working again?  I just installed a new SSD drive and installed a new windows 10 update and now my previously working, but old, printer was actually working.  Now since I went to the 64bit windows it does not seem to be working with the outdated drivers.  Since HP and its lame trouble shooting suggestions are useless in helping me with this, can someone in the community help?  Or even one of the supposed experts?  Not sure if I want to buy another HP product after this.  I know my printer is old but I don't need a new one because I don't print much at home.  Now I might need to buy another printer because its outdated.

Thank you for joining the HP Community

 

HP Photosmart 8450 Photo Printer does not have a driver for Windows10

 

However, Windows contains built-in print drivers for many types of printers. These drivers support basic printer functionality for most print jobs

 

Click on this link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01796879 for Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver

 

Try to print.

 

Keep me posted, how it goes!
