Welcome to the HP Community --
The Full Driver software is no longer listed as available for this older printer.
Instead, if you can get the printer to work at all, Software and Drivers (set for Windows 10) suggests you install the Microsoft / Windows built-in drivers.
The built-in Windows driver supports basic print function.

Old driver is Gone
We see occasional questions about printers for which full driver software installation packages are no longer listed for current (or older) versions of Windows.
The software for this printer is no longer listed as available from HP.
When available for the printer and a supported version of Windows, install the Windows built-in print drivers.
When installed for the printer series, the Windows print driver provides basic print function.
