    To enlighten you a little further on that. Recent years printer and scanners have a communication ability that's more open. So more things can far more easily connect to them without official stuff. If the scanner is old enough it won't have that and so it isn't as easy to use the scanner.

    You might not want to or might not like the idea but it looks like at least some Linux distros support that printer out-of-the-box. The scanner would have a better chance of working there though its difficult to know without actually having the printer and trying.

    You can also buy a used older computer or whatever with a compatible OS. Chuck it and buy a new printer with scanner. Install a compatible OS to VM might also work.

    So its not like you cannot get it to work today. You just have to be willing to deal with what you have to do to use it.

    Hi Allan,

    I am glad the printer is now working, with regards to the scanner, it may be best to contact HP support to see if they can provide you with a driver that will work in Windows 10, due to the age of that printer, they would be the only ones that may be able to supply that driver.

    Hi Allan,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    The support page for your printer on the link below indicates that HP do not support that printer on Windows 8 or 10, they indicate you should be able to install that printer using one of the built in HP drivers in windows, by deleting the option to manually install the driver from a list.
