Can no longer print

I have an old HP LaserJet P2035 that I link with USB cable. It’s old but does the jobs I need. Tried to print today and got a message that the driver was not available. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to sort this out - reloading driver, turning off firewall, running update driver/restarting, twirling a dead chicken over my head. Nothing has worked. When I disconnect the USB cable I get the musical chime so I know my laptop recognizes the printer. And that’s confusing. Any ideas?
