    Brand new printer won't print: Specified driver is invalid


    Just bought a brand new printer, an Epson WF-2860. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software numerous times, have made sure everything's all up to date, and I still cannot print anything from my computer Windows 10 64-bit including a test page. The message that I get is problem with printer setup, specified driver is invalid.


    I've searched for a fix for this, and the general consensus is deleting this registry key should fix the problem: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\PostSPUpgrade

    However, POSTSPUPGRADE DOES NOT EXIST when I search for it. I can get as far as \Print but PostSPUpgrade isn't there.


    There must be something else I can do.
    HOW DO I GET MY BRAND NEW PRINTER TO PRINT?

    :)

  2. Error: Specified driver invalid when trying to print

    I have just installed a brand new Epson printer, but when I try to print I get a message "Specified driver invalid". I got this message with the old printer and thinking the printer was the problem I bought a new one. Note this only happened after I did
    a reboot. My computer is running Windows 10. Please help

  3. 1803+Printer-Invalid Driver

    After the 1803 upgrade, I can longer print to either of my wireless printers.

    I have read a number of post in this forum and tried the options suggested - no luck yet.

    I contacted my printer manufacturer (Brother) and they tried a few things - still no luck.

    I have removed all drivers, and re-installed current driver from the Brother website (DCP-L2520DW). The install goes perfect ... drivers installed, network printer found, etc.

    After re-boot, when I try to print a test page, I always get "Test page failed to print, the specified driver is invalid".

    I have a secondary laptop (not upgraded to 1803), and that prints just fine.

    Idea's? Any more options?
