I'd like to get this printer working again as I bought ink for it.  HP support directs to to download from h20180.www2.hp.com but every time I go there, it says:

 

This site can’t be reached

h20180.www2.hp.com took too long to respond.

The HP Print and Scan Doctor 5.2.1 identifies the printer and when I click the button for 'Get Installer', it takes me to this non existent URL.  The HP help says something about allowing windows update to get the driver and install it and Windows says it can't run the printer, "Driver unavailable" and only give the option of removing the device.
 
I just want to know, is there a driver that works with 64 bit Windows 10 or not.  The information is inconsistent and cryptic.  The HP website doesn't give a useful answer anywhere that I can find.

I tried to do a bit of research today using my phone.  Searching for the forum, i found a page through Google with a link to the HP forums.  I tried the link about 20 times over 30 minutes but it never opened a forums page.

 So it was necessary to dearch again for a way to get to an HP forum.  I finally found a link with an option to join.  I was stupidly looking for an option to log in.  I finally gave up and figgured I'd create a new forum account if necessary.  Oh, finally an option to log in.  Who creates this obtuse interface?

And I just lost my most recent attempt to post after attaching 2 screen shots of my latest effort to get a driver using the HP web interface.  I'll try that later.  I need to get something done today and just don't have time for the frustration of getting anything HP functioning.

Back on the desktop.  This is what I got from running the Print and Scan Doctor:460.jpgClicking on the Get Installer takes me to the non existent web page referenced earlier.

 

I just want to know.  Is there or isn't there a way to get the Deskjet 460 working on a Win 10 64 bit PC with a USB cable.  HP is cryptic and confusing.

The print and scan doctor gives me another option after all else fails:Screen.jpgI clicked on the Software & Driver Downloads link.  Nothing happened at all.  So I clicked a few more times.  My computer essentially froze for the next 10 minutes while a new browser window opened to the same non existent page.  I use this PC for 4K video editing and have a high speed internet connection.  I've never seen a web site as bad as the one used by HP for Printer and Driver support.  Nothing has ever brought my PC to its knees like this site.  No matter where I look, I can't seem to figure out whether there is or isn't a driver for my system for the Deskjet 460.
