HP Recommended

I have an old but useful printer - HP DeskJet 460, circa 2003 (not the same as a more recent 460 printer from HP!) but since I had to re-initialize Windows, I need to install a driver for the printer.

Unfortunately, my Windows 10 pro 64bit OS has no driver; it tells me to go to the HP website. The HP website tells me to use the Windows driver. EHallPass


Fortunately, I have the original HP CD for this printer. However, when beginning installation of the driver from the disk I get the message Setup error - Internet Explorer 5.0 or later required. But when I ask Google, it directs me to Microsoft, but Microsoft no longer offers IE, only Edge!


There's an Edge setting to masquerade as IE. But that doesn't fool the HP 460 installer setup.


Is there an out to this dead end?
