What software are you using that requires Windows 10?

Parallel port printer so router print server isn't an option.
Still carts available and hardware is spot on. See how this goes.

A parallel print server might work, as parallel doesn't generally do anything clever that USB or Ethernet can.

eBay a place to look, one example, I saw one of these years ago on a LaserJet 4L....


Interesting. Will do some research.

None really other than security updates and Wordperfect Lightening and Firefox.

I’d be inclined to install Ubuntu Linux with Libre Office. It should support your printer, and it will probably be faster than Windows 10. More important, you’ll continue to get security updates.

But you still need a printer driver. There just isn’t a 64-bit (Windows) one for that printer.

There is but it is 32 bit and doesn't work with 64 bit Windows. Had the same trouble when using Windows 8, HP dropped support for the printer in 64 bit.

Yes.

(That link refers to Mac, but it applies to all versions of Libre Office). Unfortunately, there isn’t a native OneDrive client for Linux although there are free and paid solutions.

Is this your only computer?
