PRINTER PROBLEMS

Hi Faun,

One of the possible reasons as to why you're experiencing an issue with the printer is because of an incompatible printer driver. To isolate your concern, I would like to know a few information. Kindly answer the questions below:

• What is the build and version of Windows 10 that is currently installed?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Have you tried using a different printer and check if the issue persists?

In the meantime, you may follow the steps below on how to fix printer problems:

• Make sure that your printer is plugged into the power supply and turned on. Check the USB connection (for wired printers) or the wireless connection (for wireless printers).
• If none of the above steps work, download and run the printing troubleshooter.
  
• If you’re still having problems, your printer may need a new driver. Right-click (or press and hold) the Start button, and select Device Manager. Expand
  Printers, find your printer in the list, right-click (or press and hold) it, then select Update Driver.

If the above steps didn't work for you, kindly check this article for an additional troubleshooting method.

Let us know how it goes.
