The problem came 2 days before and I assume it is after upgrading to Windows 10. It's a new HP printer in warranty.

Hi Thomas,

If you upgraded your PC from Windows 7 to Windows
10, there is a common problem with operating system upgrades like this, which is
printer support.

If your printer doesn’t work at all or doesn’t
print properly, the printer driver is most probably damaged or
incompatible with Windows 10.

So if your printer suddenly
stopped working after the switch to Windows 10, here are some points
below in order to get it working again.

Step 1: Open the Printers control panel

Search for printers in the Windows 10 Search box and select Devices and Printers from the list of results.
This will open the Devices and Printers Control Panel pane.1. Open the control panel

Step 2: Troubleshoot a connected printer
Look in the window for your printer — it might be listed under Printers or Unspecified, If it’s there, right-click it and choose Troubleshoot from the menu that appears.
Follow the on-screen instructions for troubleshooting the printer.

Step 3: Check if your printer is installed
If Windows 10 troubleshooting doesn’t work, or if Windows 10 hasn’t detected your printer, the next step is to check whether or not it’s been installed.

Click Start and go to Settings - Devices - Printers & scanners.

If you don’t see your printer listed in the main window, click the Add a printer or scanner option and wait while Windows tries to detect your printer — make sure it’s connected to your PC and switched on.
3. Check the printer is installed

Step 4: Search for an older printer
If
your printer is detected, just follow any on-screen instructions to
install it — Windows will download and install any necessary drivers
automatically. If it isn’t listed, click the The printer I that I want isn’t listed option.

Select the first My printer is a little older. Help me find it option and click Next. Windows 10 will search your PC again for connected printers and, hopefully, detect yours and install it.
4. Search for an older printer

Step 5: Install the printer manually
If you still have no success, you’ll need to install the printer manually and you’ll need the appropriate driver for this.

Go to the below link and download the driver for your HP Printer:

http://support.hp.co...

Printer drivers are in the .exe file. To install the driver, just download and run the file.

Finally,
if nothing works, If you can’t upgrade your printer and you need to
print something, the only solution is to uninstall Windows 10 (if you
can) and revert to Windows 7 which you were using previously.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh
