    June update has rendered printer useless


    Since installing the June update I am unable to connect to my printer. On the manufacturer's website I see this message: If you have installed the June Windows 10 updates KB4557957 / KB4560960 you may find you can no longer print from your PC. If you have been affected please find your Operating System below and follow the link to the Microsoft Website for the Solution. I've followed the link but I'm not tech-savvy enough to understand how to fix the issue. I also don't seem to be able to uninstall the June update. Can anyone help?

    :)

    Windows 10 update (June 2017) printer problems

    Since the latest (June 20 2017) Windows 10 update my HP 970 CXi printer will no longer print text but just background colour blocks. I have run the trouble shooter but it doesn't find any issues. Using "photo mode" in Advanced printing options seems to
    fix it in Acrobat but not in anything else. This is a real PAIN as my printer is now rendered useless! Anyone know a solution? Can I reverse the update??
