deskjet 2600 driver is unavailable

[spw307]

I have a HP Envy laptop and deskjet 2600 all in one printer that refuses to print. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. The printer settings screen shows the printer HP37EF08 (HP deskjet 2600 series)  - driver is unavailable.

Tried the HP print and scan doctor and trouble shooter but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks all.
