Windows 10: Driver Unavailable Issue [Deskjet 3540] [Win 10 Home]

I have been recently having issue with my Deskjet 3545 printer drivers, i am on a windows 10 machine.

Here is how my driver looks in "Devices and Printers":
1. When installed from "Printers and Scanners" from Windows 10 settings:
2. When installed manually by "Add a printer using TCP/IP Hostname" and "My printer is old, help me find it" in Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers


______________________________________________________________________________
Printer Details as shown by "HP Smart" app for Windows 10:


______________________________________________________________________________
ISSUE: Can not print anything, sometimes stuck in print queue, sometimes it goes to queue and disappears suddenly, sometimes throws an "ERROR-PRINTING" (no error message) [ In both above drivers, printing doesn't work ]
______________________________________________________________________________
NOTE:
1. Printer works perfectly with my other Laptops (windows 10, same version) and with my android too, this issue is specific to my current pc.
2. I have "Set Windows Update to automatically download driver software" ON
3. Throughout my troubleshooting i have been installing Drivers from : HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer series Drivers
______________________________________________________________________________
WHAT WORKS:
1. INTERNAL PAGE PRINT WORKS (HP Print and Scan Doctor) [Uninstalling then Reinstalling Driver didn't work, already tried that]

2. Scanning using Built in Windows 10 Scanner:

3. Printing REPORTS ONLY through "HP Smart" Windows 10 app:

Again, I can't print Documents/ Photos using the Hp Smart app.

______________________________________________________________________________
THINGS I HAVE TRIED [AND DID NOT WORK]:
1. RenameW32X86 to W32x86.old and Rename x64 to x64.old
2. Adding Printer Manually using "Install the printer driver with the Add Printer wizard":
2.a) Add a printer using local or network printer with manual settings
2.b) Selecting Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname
2.c) My Printer is old, help me find it
3. Checked for Windows 10 currupted system Files (no problems were ever found)
3.a) sfc /scannow : No issues found
3.b) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth : No issues found
4. Uninstalled Antivirus, Disabled all Firewalls
5. Used "HP Print and Scan Doctor", Told me to Uninstall and Install Drivers again, Did that, Still no prints.
6. Installed "HP Universal Print Driver for Windows" and selected "Print directly to Printer"


7. Clean Uninstall then reinstall Hp Drivers for my Printer (Both basic and full) -> have always here:

8. Perform a hard reset:

THINGS I CAN NOT TRY:
1. Reinstall Windows (pls no ( )
2. Use the printer cable to print (Lost it ( )

Here is how the drivers look on the other pc on which it works
I have been struggling with this for days, Any help would be highly appreciated!

Hi,

The error Driver is unavailable means that there is no available driver installed for your mouse that’s why it is not working. We suggest that you check the mouse driver from the device manager. Follow the steps below:

• Look for Mice and other pointing devices and click it to expand.
• Check if there is a driver for the wireless mouse.

If there is none, we suggest that you visit the manufacturer’s website of the mouse and download then install the latest mouse driver compatible to Windows 10.
