      I would recommend three options for you:

      1) Uninstall all the installed printer drivers from your computer. Restart your computer. Make sure your printer should be disconnected after rebooting. After that, install the printer again using this driver: https://download.freeprintersupport.com/downloads/hp/common-driver/HP_M1130_M1210_MFP_Full_Solution-v20180815-10158769_1.exe

      2) If the above method did not work then try its basic driver: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL32662/Im-81159-3/LJM1130_M1210-HB-win64-en.exe

      3) If the above drivers did not work for you, then you’ll have to install this printer manually on your computer using its basic driver: https://www.mediafire.com/file/w4oxorrnx0jlswh/hp-laserjet-m1210-series-basic-driver.zip
