Hp 1210xi printer w/Win 7 does work need help

I need your help again!
Looks like HP does not have any drivers for win 7, only a real crappy work around, and even then, you can't use HP director correctly so scanning has to be done through MS Paint!?. Do any of you have a way to fix this? There's literaly thousands of these printers out there that. HP's solution...buy a new $300 lousy printer.....

 

There is a long term problem with older HP printers. HP Solution Centre doesn't recognise the printer, but it prints and copies fine
Mine originally worked with Vista, but no longer. I have a SC1315, and the standard advice is the same.
It will not automatically start Solution Centre, so try HP Photosmart Essential, from the view tab, click "get images", "from scanner".
I had two entries HP psc 1310 series TWAIN and WIA- HP psc-1310 series. One of them should work.
