Welcome to the HP Community.

Short Answer:  No, the DeskJet F2280 printer is not on the list of printers that are Bluetooth compatible.

Thank you very much!
It seems you are right. I have to print via the USB connection as per my last laptop which was not Bluetooth capable. It prints perfectly as usual. 
But now the Scanner does not respond. I always used to scan a document by right-clicking on the document which used to give you the option to "scan via Hewlett-Packard F2280". I have also tried to scan by pressing the Scan button on the HP device, again no response.
Do you have any explanation? I should try the link that you kindly gave me.
Regards.
BTW - great moniker...Dragon Fur...

You are welcome.

HP Scan is part of the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver 

The printer software is older - last released in 2014.

That said, it might still be compatible with the latest versions of Windows 10.

If the software is already loaded

Check Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features

then

If it is not working as expected,

Consider

Preparation / Information

Create Restore Point (Optional)

Before making any changes to your system, always create a Restore Point!

Stop / Exit all programs:  Browsers, games, Applications, etc.

Control Panel > icon view > System > System Protection

Click (Highlight) your main disk (C) > Select Create a Restore Point

OR

(As available)

Create a restore point now for the drives that have system protection turned on

Create

Apply or OK to exit the menu after the Restore Point is complete.

Windows Updates

Before you install / reinstall printer software, do check and run Windows Updates. 

Settings > Update and Security > Windows Updates

If you install any Windows Updates: After the update is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

NOTE:  If an update is already pending, install that update > Restart the computer and log in

Uninstall the printer software from Programs and Features

Restart the computer and log in

===========================================================================

Next

• If using USB, disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer before starting the installation.  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (toward the end of the installation procedure).

Download and save the printer software installation package.

Next

• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the software installation package (likely Downloads)
• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
• Reminder:  If using USB > Connect the USB cable when instructed (toward the end of the installation)
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

Printer Software Check

Notes

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed, you will see the printer listed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features.

In addition, the installed software places two shortcut icons on the Desktop.

The Printer Assistant is named for the printer and provides access to Print , Scan , and Tools

HP Scan is named for itself and provides a direct call to the HP Scan software.

Honestly, I don't know whether / if the Scan option will work from the printer.

Hopefully, you will be able to scan from the computer using HP Scan.

What else?

Not sure (there is so much I don't know about a USB only printer...)

You might be able to use one or more of the following scan options...

Extra NOTE

If it is compatible with your printer and printer software,

It is necessary that the full driver software be installed and functional before loading HPSE.

• HPSE is a subset an older Full Feature Software suite.
