It is a constant challenge. You have a working printer that has to be discarded in order to keep your OS
current. Of course, you want to keep your OS reasonably current for security purposes at the same
time you have both older software and peripherals that you need or like.

I, too, have an older HP like yours from 2012 works perfectly. As I recall there is no update available.
