hp 8710
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

First I could send to printer but not scan from printer (scanner couldn't find laptop).  Looking at helpdesk, the virtual tech said to uninstall driver for 8710, so I did.  BIG MISTAKE.  Now I can't print, either!  I've installed HP Smart, which is stupid, when it can't find your printer.  And hp.123.com doesn't work to provide drivers to download.

How do I get the original drivers for my 8710 Photosmart so I can use it for something other than a copier!  HELP!
