Windows 10: Printer drivers

I have an older HP Laser Jet 1022 printer in my classroom. I LOVE this printer. The school districts has Windows 10, I have been trying since August to get my printer up and running by installing my drivers. I have had no luck. I get a "Can not delete output files" message. Is there a way to correct this and get my printer up and running?Casey
