My father in law had an old laser printer that he could not get to work under windows 10 since the drivers only support windows 7 and refuse to install.

Does it need proprietary drivers at all? I don't think I've seen a printer that does for decades, but I certainly haven't used all printers.

Windows 10 found no supported drivers and refused to print to it, while it worked fine with Windows 7
