The last time I connected the printer to a 2008 server was simply by installing firewood from windows seven.
Moreover, you must not run the executable, since it will swear that the OS is not supported, but unpack the insides of the driver with an archiver and then manually install the driver from this folder from the device manager.

If you need only printing from an MFP (without frills, monochrome) - any available PCL5 driver always comes to the rescue - from any simple printer - even HP LJ 5L, but while people are happy with the opportunity to print something - we are already looking for native drivers.

You can share it on the machine with XP and connect to 2008 through this machine.
Jobs will be sent via XP (if it is turned off, the printer is unavailable)
I don’t know about scans, but you can print this way

In principle, you just need a “UFR II Driver” for 2008, of which, judging by the Internet, there are a great many in nature

A slightly exotic option is Google Cloud Print .
