    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.

    How can I get Windows 10 to recognize an Unspecified Device as a Printer?

    I have installed a DYMO printer, but it is not listed as a printer but only as an Unspecified Device. How can I get Windows 10 to recognize an Unspecified Device as a Printer? All printer troubleshooting steps require it to be listed as a Printer, and
    all Help solutions assume that it can be recognized as a printer.

    Dell 946 all in one printer- says there is no communication between my laptop and the printer.

    Original title: Dell 946 all in one printer

    I installed Windows 10 yesterday and it took 3 hours to get the computer to recognize my Dell 946 all in one printer. It now recognizes it but says there is no communication between my laptop and the printer. I have tried all of the recommended steps (disconnecting
    and reconnecting everything, turning off and restarting both printer and laptop) and the same message comes up. Any suggestions? Thanks
