Like any computer device, printers need additional software to function in windows. for hardware devices, this software is generally called a driver.by default, windows supports a lot of devices since many drivers are already included in windows, but many devices still need a separate driver or additional software to operate; for hewlett-packard printers, this is also true.. Since the latest windows 10 update a week ago i have been unable to use my hp 8710 printer. when i go to the control panel > devices and printers > hp 8710, the status of the printer is: driver is unavailable.. @folksyhippo . glad to have you back. let us attempt to install the basic drivers and check if that helps. the basic drivers can be downloaded and installed via this link.. in case the issue persists with the basic drivers too then let us try installing the inbuilt printer drivers from the microsoft operating system..
