I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. I believe the solution will come soon. The HP Deskjet 1220c is a very good printer that still works for home and professionals tasks.
As my desktop is being repaired, I couldn’t print documents from my laptop. The former runs Windows 7 and the latter runs Windows 10. Windows 7 offers the built-in driver for the printer, but Windows 10 doesn’t.
So if anyone knows how to figure it out, please tell us. It’s even worth buying a driver software for the printer than changing it. Microsoft is not doing fine leaving this issue unsolved.
