  1. Got A Printer Problem


    The other day my HP Office Jet Pro 6830 Ink Jet quit printing in color. While troubleshooting it I got an HP Driver Update through WU. It didn't solve the printing problem, but it has really slowed down the printing. Takes three or four times longer for a page to start printing and has a delay between multiple pages. Using the PH Print and Scan Doctor utility finds nothing wrong. Still no color print, and yes I've checked the ink cartridges. I've also cleared and reset the Print Spooler and Que. Anyway today I start poking around and find this:

    Question is How Do I Finish Installing a Driver? Any help is appreciated

  3. Printer offline problem persists

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

    • Is it a wired or wireless printer?
    • Is the printer connected via network to your computer?
    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to make printer as a default printer you can follow the below steps:

    • Press Windows key+ X and select
      device manager
      .
    • Select devices and printers
    • Right click on the printer you want to use, and then click
      set as default printer (You'll see a check mark on the printer's icon signifying that it's now your default printer).
    I suggest you to update the drivers for the printers and check if it helps.

    Method 2: I also recommend you to run the print troubleshooter to check the issue.

    • Type troubleshooter in the search box and then press enter.
    • In the left pane click on View all.
    • Select the printer option and
      follow the on screen instructions.
    Method 3: Also I suggest you to run the troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.
