Dell 1710 laser printer problem

Hello, I have a dell 1710 laser printer installed on my Lenovo helix. I had the Lenovo and an HP desktop connected
to the printer via a switch so that I could share the printer. I was not using the HP desktop so I removed the switch and connected the Lenovo directly. It has not worked since.
I have the disk that came with the dell 1710 but windows 10 is not able to install from that disk (too old I expect).
I have tried various methods to install the driver but without success.
when I go to settings, devices, it does show the dell laser printer 1710 and below it is Default, error.
when I print a test page it appears in the dialog box but status is blank and it fails to print.
when I go to the device manager there are no printers showing.
any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Spunk, thanks for your response. The printer is connected via a USB cable. The final method I used was the one you outline. I downloaded the file, extracted the program, ran setup as you suggested, but there was no option to run as administrator. I have just reconnected the switch but no joy.
when it gets to the final dialog box there is an option to print a test page, I select that, the test page is sent but never prints. In the print dialog box the status shows Error - printing, I can change it to paused (Error - paused) and back to printing but nothing changes.
thanks again, with luck someone may come up with an answer.

Problem solved, I had selected port LPT1, changed it to USB001 and it all worked!
