Product: PhotoSmart 8450
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
After a recent Windows 10 update, my PhotoSmart 8450 printer no longer works. The printer is always "offline". If I try to make it go "online", there is a "printer error" every time I try to print. This has happened on 3 different Windows 10 computers with the same problem.
The HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows suggests I use the built in driver on Windows 10, but this driver no longer works.
It looks like the old printer driver is no longer compatible with Windows 10. Do you have any suggestions how to fix this?
I notice something similar happened with a Photosmart 7520.
