Did you try searching for newer drivers?
Did you try the HP website?
HERE is a direct link to YOUR printer on HPs web site..

"Important Print Security Update
HP was recently made aware of a vulnerability in certain InkJet and LaserJet printers by a third-party researcher. HP has updates available for download to address the vulnerability. Details and more information are available in the Security Bulletin."
Security bulletin can be found HERE
It could be as simple as adjusting a security setting or removing drivers and reinstalling them.. Could be a botched MS update.. Don't really know.
Didn't really see any complaints about printers with the last MS Win10 update..
I do recall there was a update a few OS generations back that knocked offline folks ability to print but you should have been well past that problem update..
It is the reason I manually manage my PCs updates by disabling the automatic forced updates.. I wait a while to see what folks are complaining about and if no complaints I then manually install the update.. if there is complaints, I wait until a fix is issued or even skip the problematic update until the next one..
