This is one of the most common problems experienced by people who try
to use a newer version of Windows with older printers and scanners.
They can't get a driver for their hardware. The manufacturers of the
older printers and scanners don't feel that it's worth their time and
effort to develop new drivers for older hardware they are no longer
selling.
It is *always* a good idea to investigate driver availability before
going to a new version of Windows.
I'm afraid you're out of luck, and will almost certainly need to
replace your printer if you want to make full use of its features.
