Yes, you are right, Windows 10 has the ability to update or install the missing driver for your computer without any notifications. Kudos to you for describing the issue in such good detail. I see you are unable to print from your computer running on Windows 10. Greetings for the post and your continued interest in our HP Forums. Device HP46BA91 (HP Officejet Pro 8210) appeared out of the blue and has taken over printing duties. It's offline and won’t go online and certainly won’t print anything. The original driver name has changed to HP Officejet Pro 8210 PCL6.

But anyway, I wonder if the change from the above-mentioned post to the printer devices shown below has a rational explanation? But (maybe) sadly, when things change I like to know why - mainly, and I hope readers will empathise here, because when things unexpectedly change it's often a warning of impending doom, especially where Windows and printers are concerned. There are no errors and the printer works. I discovered by accident that if I just installed the hardware and left it alone everything would just begin working without any fuss at all - even my Officejet 8210 wireless printer. It's a bit scary really because I have developed a set of procedures and checks that I used since Win98 to ensure that drivers worked. I have discovered that Windows 10 seems to be more than capable of installing drivers on its own without any interference from me. When I don't know, but a sneaky gremlin got in there and fiddled about a bit.

See this post. Then I installed a dual band network card and an AC1350 wireless router to bump up the wireless speeds a bit which it did very nicely. I'd been struggling to obtain a printer device display that did not show any device errors, but got there in the end.
