    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

    I can't get my newly added printer to talk to my computer?

    Printer not being added

    Hello,

    If you're unable to connect to your printer or print in Windows 10, we recommend following the steps in this
    article to try and fix the problem. Since you keep on getting the "Windows doesn't has a network
    profile for this device    " error, we also suggest installing the driver for your printer. You can follow the steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + X > Device Manager.
    2. Click the drop-down menu for Printers > right-click on your printer's name > Properties.
    3. Go to Driver tab > Install > OK.
    4. Restart your computer after doing these steps.

    Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.
