I have a old HP LaserJet 1100 printer that worked fine with my print server till I did a fresh install to a 500gb m.2 ssd, when I update windows printer list and go to install my printer after a few sec I get PRINTER NOT INSTALLED.

I do not have the original disc for the printer. this worked in the past what changed?
