Hi,
Apologies for jumping in.
An HP Photosmart 245 printer have no drivers available for Windows 10, it is incompatible with the operating system and there are no drivers to allow any plug and play USB communication with the printer:

The printer was incorrectly installed, you must uninstall it and remove all links with your old printer in program File and program (x86), delete it in the control panel (If it is there), restart the PC. Then install the new full HP driver. Restart the PC at the end of the new installation. It should work after that.

I removed everything and started over. It will not install the 6970, or 245. Proceedure thinks it should have an ethernet cable, not a usb. I have tried multiple ways. Nothing.
HP print and Scan Doctor shows:
HP Photosmart 8000 Series on a USB - Works OK
HP LaserJet 200 Color on network - Works OK
HL-2270DL Series on a USB - Works OK
HP Photosmart 240 Series - Not Installed
