Windows 10: I have a printer that no longer prints when prompted to, however days later the documents...

I have an Epson ET-3760 Serial: 381A52532488 printer System Model : HP All-in-One24-df0xxxType: x64-based PC The printer used to print perfectly fine and then one day I prompted it to print and it no longer was able to print instantly. I now have to wait until the next day to get my documents however I would like to have this resolved. -I cleared the queue and tried reprinting but still no change - I reset the printer by cutting off the power to it - I have updated my computer -I have unpaired and repaired my systems -The printer says "printing" with the loading symbol and then "completed"

Windows 10 printer no longer prints

The "test printer install" suggests you haven't purchased it yet or don't have it at hand. All I can offer now is that most printer installs offer the install but connect later, puts an icon on the Desktop to finish after actually connecting it.

One thing about Win10 is it may automatically pick up a newly-connected printer and give at least basic printing, may be listed in Devices and Printers in Control Panel, Devices and Printers or Settings, Devices.

 

Unable to print Excel documents on Windows 10.

Hello Gifford,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



From the above description, I understand you are unable to print Excel documents on the computer running Windows 10.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Did you check if you are able to print other system documents or webpages using the printer?
• Did you check if the printer is visible under Devices and Printers?

You will be able to print documents and web pages from the Printer if the device is online or showing working status under
Devices and Printers.



If haven’t tried, I suggest you to check if you are able to print documents other than Excel documents or webpages using the printer.



Also check if the printer is listed under Devices and Printers
by following the steps below:

• Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Devices and Drivers and select the top most search result.
• Under Printers, check if the printer you are trying to print from is listed.
• If yes, print a test Excel document and check if the device works.

Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

 

Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


I have three computers.
Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

1. Remove the printer device.
2. Add a Printer
3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
4. Select a shared printer by name
5. Browse
6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
7. Select the displayed Printer.
8. Next
9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
11. Next
12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
14. Additional Port information required.
15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
16. Next
17. Detecting the Driver Model
18. Install The Print Driver
19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
20. Next
21. Replace the Current Driver
22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
23. Next
24. Do not share this printer
25. Next
26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
27. Finish

Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.
