For the OP... sometimes the printer manufacturer abandons their printers.
They're then apparently referred to in Windows-speak as "legacy" printers.

Looks like the driver might have already been found, but in cases where the
printer manufacturer left the printer owner out in the cold, I've had
success with the legacy process of getting an old HP driver from Microsoft.

Here's a page for how to use it for those who have old legacy printers.

It's a terrible process - but I've had to use it for the HP Laserjet 2100tn
so I can vouch for the fact that it works at least up to & including Win10.
