Windows 10: I have a laptop with no optical drive. I bought a cyber link to use with my printer

I bought a disc writer from Cyber Link in hopes of connecting my printer via the disc writer. My 1st try I found that Microsoft suggested that I would run into a problem with the S- MODE, and the issues it would create. I bought a new cannon printer in the hope it would alleviate the headaches I'm having. I didn't say this earlier but I had a printer that was 4 years old and I had a Epson Printer lost the disc for it. Hence, the rambling sentences. I hope someone can help me. Thank you

:)

 

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?

Optical drive letters keep swapping

Open Disk Management (click Start, type diskmgmt.msc in the Search box, and press Enter).

1. In the lower pane, right-click on your optical drive and select "Change drive letter and paths"
2. Assign Y: to the first optical drive
3. Repeat step 1 for the second optical drive and assign Z:

Hello Steve –
Again, my thanks for supplying detailed pictures and steps. They really help.
The following are screenshots of where I am.
Screenshot 23 shows confirmation my Registry was changed.
Screenshot 24 shows the list of “Send to” names including the CD shortcut.
Screenshot 25 shows the “Send to” list, but the CD name is still not listed.
