Deskjet 3050

My Deskjet 3050 is pretty old but works perfectly fine in of itself. The problem is that when I installed the printer and installed drivers that were supposed to be compatible with Windows 10, it turned out to be for Windows 7 once installed, even though HPs official driver download-site said Windows 10, now the drivers and printer are destroying my computer. I really need this printer for school, how do I find drivers that actually ARE for Windows 10 and not just say they are? I have tried the recommended drivers but they aren't compatible even though they say they are supposed to. 

 

P.S. this printer is originally my dad's, the guarantee has run out a long time ago so I can't contact support. I think he bought it in 2011 or something like that, it's pretty old. Are there even drivers for such an old printer that work with my computer? I need help.
