HP Officejet J4580

Hello.  I changed computers recently.  New computer will not work with the printer (Officejet J4580 noted above) because it is unable to locate and download a printer driver.  Never had this issue before.  Usually Windows finds the drivers it needs on its own.  Not this time.  When I try to “Add printers & scanners” via windows, it seems to recognize “Officejet J4500 series” because that shows up in the list of printers but it notes “Driver is unavailable” for it.  When I go to HP’s own website and search for the printer via https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/printers it finds a page for the printer at https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-officejet-j4500-j4600-all-in-one-printer-series/... but strangely there are no driver files listed under “All drivers.”

 

Suggestions?

It is a bit old printer. Many older printers rely on a product called Adobe Flash Player software to run therefore due for the cost would be very high to re-write drivers, HP offers the following work around
