hp psc 750 printer only prints few lines or half pages on windows10

[Joanne3282]

Hey,

I have installed my old psc 750 printer (worked fin now for 15 years without any trouble)  by USB on my new computer (running windows 10, french).

Windows 10 immediately recognised a new device and installed the driver (suppose its preinstalled in Windows 10).

The scanner an the copie work fine.

Just printing doesn't work. It doesn't matter if I print from the internet or Excel or Word.  I always get only a few lignes, max half a page and then

the documents in Word get stuck in the waiting line: "error, could not print"

Troubleschooting: "Your printer is an old device USB 2 and will not work on USB3. " I always thought "downgrading" was fine?

I desinstalled the driver and reinstalled it: no change

Thanks for any help

I understand that the issue still persists after following the steps provided in the previous interaction.

This could be a driver compatibility issue.

Thanks for your help

I have one last question:

Could it be the USB-connexion?

The troubleschooting tool says that I need to put the printer to a USB2 connector because the printer is old an can not work on an USB3. But my computer doesn't have no USB2 connectors anymore.
