Thanks for the response. I've followed the steps and when the driver tries to install, the error attached message is presented.

 

The next page is search for a solution. 

The original error message when printing was "0x800706ba". I then uninstalled the drivers. I think this may have happened when a new Windows 10OS was installed automatically. The printer will still scan.
