Now recently i've upgraded to windows 10 64bit and install the drivers using the CD keep in note the CD says its windows 10 compatible so everything went well but the catch is everytime i tried to print its unable to do it, so quickly i went to device manager and press 'update driver' after couple of minutes it says "the printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled that block NT 4.0 drivers"
After the error i decide to download "HP print and scan doctor" in that program it downloaded the file and drivers when that's done the final step was windows trying to detect printer, on that step my windows disconnect then reconnect the printer but on the program it says its unable to connect
So after doing so i decided to uninstall all drivers from that app, after it restarts my computer i put the driver CD back in follow the installation now here's the catch it's stuck on the detecting printer which is the last step of installation
At this point the printer is available on the device manager but when i try to print (right click an image then print) the printer is no where to be found i tried using the doctor app it didn't help either
So im frustrated right now because i really need to print something
Best regards,
Bakhtiar

When in doubt, don't use the CD, don't rely on Windows Update. Go to the source.
