Hi Yvu

If you have the original CD/DVD you could try to install the drivers from that. However, it may be that the drivers are not compatible with Windows 10 (but I believe they should be if they worked with Windows 7).

It is also worth checking out the website of the manufactorer of your printer and installing the latest drivers available. They may already have a WIndows 10 version. Older printers may not develop new software and then it would be a matter of scouring the internet for drivers that people say are compatible.

Good Luck.

Please let me know how you get on.

I really appreciate thank you messages as a payment for solving issues :o)
