  1. Laptop no longer connects to printers


    Hi


    My wife's laptop has been acting up for a while. If it connects up to a printer, wi-fi or cable, it would not always recognize a printer. We just got a new printer and it would not recognize that printer, again wi-fi or cable. What's more, it would not see another wi-fi printer we have in the house and when we put back the old printer it would not connect to that one. We also tried a number of print drivers.


    Other than the print spooler what other drivers/programs allow the computer to connect with the printer wi-fi And Cable It has no problem with other wi-fi connection issues.


    Do you think that I should try the windows repair program? I forget what steps it takes to run the repair application without a CD?


    Suggestions?



    Latest Windows 10 build on a Dell laptop.

    :)

    To help you with your concern regarding the printer, let me suggest you to contact the manufacturer for the steps on how to connect your printer to your computer. Please follow the steps on how to contact the manufacturer:

    • The name of the OEM + “contact information”

    Regards.
