    Computer will not recognize printer


    Running Windows 10. Printer is HP DeskJet 750C+. I have drivers from Windows 7. HP didn't update to Windows 10. Printer has worked in the past with these older drivers. Problem is I can't get the computer to recognize the plotter. If I can do that, I can install the drivers I have on hand. Thanks Frank

    :)

    computer not recognizing printer

    Hi Dawn,

    A printer may not work properly if the device drivers are not updated. In order for us to efficiently assist you with your concern, we just have a few questions for you:

    • Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Have you tried updating the device drivers?
    • Are you getting an error message/code when trying to use the printer?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you already performed?

    Regards.

    How can I get Windows 10 to recognize an Unspecified Device as a Printer?

    I have installed a DYMO printer, but it is not listed as a printer but only as an Unspecified Device. How can I get Windows 10 to recognize an Unspecified Device as a Printer? All printer troubleshooting steps require it to be listed as a Printer, and
    all Help solutions assume that it can be recognized as a printer.
