Product: HP PSC 750
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Based on the thread HP forum thread at https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Software-and-Drivers/HP-PSC-750-and-Windows-10/td-p/6497660, I searched for old printer drivers at http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=hp+psc+750+%22windows+10%22. The only thing that comes up are Windows 8 drivers.

 

Is there a risk to the OS from attempting to install Windows 8 drivers on Windows 10?

Hello, no it has any risk to install a Windows 8 driver on Windows 10. 

If HP don't give driver for Windows 10 it is the best option, and generally it is working. 

If I have been answer to your question please accept it as a solution 🙂

Thank you, Fanordi.  I was able to let Windows update its drivers and recognize my printer.  So I didn't need to install the Windows 8 driver.  Here is what I did, upon a suggestion from another forum:

 

* Under Windows Updates, Advanced options, turn on the switch for "Receive updates for other Microsoft products...", then initiate an update

* Unplug the peripheral from the USB port and plug it back in.

* If successful, you see messages that Windows recognized the printer and set it up.
