I also tried to re-install the drivers, but it says the driver is not on the disk (i have the original disk!) and a generic driver didn't work. If your printer is one of them, it supports Windows 10. Now, you can continue by searching for the right driver yourself and install it manually.

Right-click on your printer and select Uninstall device. Now Windows will pop a dialogue box asking you which way do you want to update your driver. Navigate through all the hardware, open the sub-menu Print queues, right-click on your printer hardware, and select Update driver. Following are the common HP Deskjet printers which have Windows 10 drivers. Here’s how to proceed: Press Win + R to open RUN. Press Windows + R to launch the Run Type devmgmt.msc in the dialogue box and hit Enter.This will launch your computer’s device manager. Or you may need to install the latest Windows 10 driver. I tried to align the printer, but that also said 'device is busy'. If you upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8, your HP Deskjet printer should have worked with no problems. I went into the toolbox and tried the 'clean' function, but that would not work - it said 'device busy'. When I try to print a test page, it does the same thing. It sat so long that I canceled it, eventually when I printed again I discovered that if I wait long enough, it took the paper in, then printed like 1 line and stopped, few minutes later 1 more line, etc I canceled it. It's probably a more current version than what's on the disc. The most current software driver for Windows XP for that printer is here. but it suddenly turned extremely s-l-o-w. Cancelling the print job and then restarting the computer probably would've reset everything back to normal. I was printing a couple pages yesterday and it was ok, then I discovered I made a mistake and needed to print it again, and I didn't do anything different. I have this HP printer with my windows xp system.
