    HP P1006 - no longer recognized by Win 10 on two different laptops


    Long story short: We have this P1006 printer that worked last time we used it, pre-pandemic, in Nov. 2019. Powers on OK, does POST, but doesn't print even test pages. Swapped USB cable, which didn't help. We tried to use the printer today. Was not recognized as USB plug-in to Netgear router with 2 USB ports, which used to work for sharing purposes (no WiFi). So I plugged the printer into two different laptops. Not recognized, in that a test page would not print. So for each laptop I uninstalled the P1006. With the printer plugged directly into each system, I attempted to reinstall, but the Settings/Devices could not find this printer as a local device. Doing a Google search didn't turn up any "tricks" to get Windows to still find this printer. So am I in the market for another low-cost laser printer? Pre-pandemic, this printer was used maybe 2 month a year.

    :)

    HP Laserjet P1006 will not print now


    I've encountered the same problem. The simplest solution is to remove all existing drivers and install a new one. You can install the HP Laserjet P1006 drivers from the HP website, but if you can install more complex sounds simple HP Laserjet P1006 download sites available.

    HP P1006 - no longer recognized by Win 10 on two different laptops

    No WiFi availablities after upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10 on my HP laptop

    After upgrading my HP laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the WiFi manager no longer lists available broadband connections which was previously working before since I was able to access the Win10 upgrade via the broadband connection. The Hot Spot is working
    fine and is listed correctly using my other Win 10 and UBUNTU based Toshiba laptops. Nothing I try will cause the available WiFi's to list as it did previously before upgrading to Win 10. I have tried everything, but the WiFi manager does not recognize any
    WiFi connections available. The HP laptop is properly showing the WiFi light turning to the blue color from orange as normal but it sees no available connections.
