I have this printer; it’s ancient, but it technically still works (though honestly, it’s useless without drivers). I don't have the original driver CD, and I can't find anything online since it's such an old, retired model—it seems HP has completely pulled support for these legacy devices 😢
Does anyone know where I might track down a driver for this thing?

So, which version of Windows are you running? I actually have an ancient Canon Pixma from way back in 2004—it's basically a relic! But surprisingly, it works perfectly fine on Windows 10. The system just picked it up and installed everything automatically...

I'm on Windows 10, but nothing seems to be detecting it for me.🤷

Maybe give it a shot by checking if there's a driver available for Windows 7—then you could try setting up some compatibility mode for Windows 10.
