Windows 10: How to remove a hidden printer from Printers & Scanners

Hi all, I've been struggling to use my printer from my computer. I figured the best way to fix it would be to remove the printer from my devices, then uninstall & reinstall the driver.However, I noticed that even when I deleted the printer, I was still able to select it when printing a document even though it wouldn't end up printing anyything.If we look at my printer and scanners, we see that the Brother printer is not listed:If I try to add the Brother printer back, I get a Copy 1 which still does not let me print. Windows can detect that it has some sort of error "Attention Require

:)

 

Windows 10 recognizes my printer+scanner only as a printer.

Hello,

Another method you may try is to uninstall and reinstall the printer. The following are the steps:



Remove your printer

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners.
• Under Printers & scanners, find the printer, select it, and then select Remove device.

Install or add a local printer

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners.
• Under Printers & Scanners, see if your printer is installed.
• If you don’t see your device, select Add a printer or scanner. Wait for it to find available printers, choose the one you want, and then select Add device.

On the other hand, we suggest also that you reach out the manufacturer of your printer/scanner for the driver availability or work around.



Regards.
