Laptop not recognising printer

diamond_dave

New laptop using W 10 and now my canon MP210 printer is not recognised. Message states:" no drivers available". Canon website says it is not compatable with w 10.
How can I use the two together? Surely I don't have to get a new printer - it's old but is bulletproof. Any suggestions please.

not sure if this helps...

Should I manage to download the w 7 drivers does that mean that I cannot then use the old flappy with w8.?

Better to download the w 8.1 drivers.  Doesn't affect the printer and you'll still be able to use the old flappy with w8.
