HP Recommended

I have recently been given an old HP Deskjet F4580 printer but no installation CD which I believe would have been supplied when the printer was purchased.

It works when connected via a USB cable using a generic driver but will not connect to my WiFi network using WPS. Also I cannot access any utilities such as print head alignment, etc. I have searched endlessly on the web and through this forum but none of the suggested connection methods work. It is, of course, now 'obsolete' and no longer supported by HP.

 

I am reluctant to consign the printer to the bin as I hate throwing away items which are capable of working and it would solve a problem for me.

Any ideas please?
