Windows 10: How to find a printer in Win10?

Hi


How do I find and add a printer in Win10. I know it sounds pretty straight forward, but we have over 1000 printers on the network, so clicking "Add Printer" returns a fairly long list. It would be nice if I could search by location or just by name to find what I'm looking for.

Adding unlisted printer to the Win10 list

!'m not sure how I did it but all seems well now. It was something like Deacon suggested plus a re-boot or two. It's now listed as a printer, not as unspecified.





Update the list still doesn't work.

Thanks for your support.

PS MS's Update catalogue is very useful. E.g. Microsoft Update Catalog

 

Add printer error 0x0000000d on Win10

I see that there are a lot of incidents of this error in the community forums, but none on a Win10 computer. Looking through the older responses, none seem to work on a Win10. I'm using a Surface Pro 1 running up-to-date Win10, trying to connect wirelessly
to an HP networked printer at work. I've been able to connect to this printer in the past, but just today when I went to the office and tried to print, I got an error message and found that I couldn't connect to the printer. I removed the printer from my Devices
and Printers and tried reconnecting, but I finally get the error 0x0000000d.

I am on a BYOD program, so my IT can not fix this problem on my computer.

The steps that my IT has suggested for connecting to the printer, and which worked in the past:

1. Navigate to "Add a printer"

2. Click "The printer that I want isn't listed"

3. Select a shared printer by name

4. Type in printer address, "http://..."

5. Login with my company credentials

I recently changed both my Windows and company password, so may be related to this?
