Windows 10: DOT4 Port on Windows 10

I have a New Lenovo Laptop with Windows 10. DOT4-001 printer port is not showing in devices under control panel. Thus I am unable to interface HP 1010 printer. Please suggest solution.

What is DOT4 USB printing support?

HP printers frequently install a DOT4 port for use by the printer. The DOT4 protocol is supposed to allow multiple data packets for different devices (e.g., the printer, scanner, fax components of an "all-in-one" printer) to be transmitted simultaneously
on one channel.

However, HP also installs a DOT4 port for HP laser printers that don't have any other components. Because DOT4 is part of IEEE 1284.4, which is an enhancement of the parallel port spec, perhaps HP does this for its older printers that were originally designed
for use with parallel ports. See, e.g., these screenshots:

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
