Cant install printer, should I try another hard drive and OS?

[pleasant]

Trying to make my issue less complicated..

I can't install any printers on this PC. Previous owner deleted "some files" and since then, no one has been
able to install a printer on it.

I have another hard drive, should I try installing that with the different OS?

Re-install the original OS and activate it using the codes at the side or bottom of the computer.
