Printer driver

[creampuff9]

My HP Officejet 5610 All-In-One printer does not communicate with my HP Pavillion 500-424.  It won't print from my computer. My computer and printer are not communicating anymore. I think I need to update the driver but I can't seem to be able to do that.  I'd really hate to purchase a new printer/scanner as I recently just purchased 2 new ink cartridges.  Did I mention that I am a computer creampuff?  LOL
