Welcome @bikn2up22,

 

I have looked into this further for you and I may have found something you could try.

 

As per the downloads page for the HP Photosmart 1215 - the last full feature software package was for Windows XP.

 

Which means you will have to use trial and error to find a driver that will allow you to print with this model, and you won't be able to use all of the addtional features you may be used to using. (Meaning no advance print settings.)

 

This document for Windows 8 will give you a rough idea how to do a setup using and Installing an Alternate USB Print Driver.

 

 

Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. 

 

 

Thanks,

If I use the HP 990 driver, I can use my HP 7660 which does not have it's own driver under Win10.  Is there a similar work around for the photosmart 1215?

Afternoon @Ratslugger,

 

It's the same workaround, you can use that same 990c if it is available in the preinstalled drivers on the computer. If the 990c driver is not there, then it's trial error to find a driver that works.
