Windows 10: my plotter driver stopped working after applying KB5039211 Win. 10 resp. KB5039212 Win. 11

Hello everybody,Many years ago ~Win. 2K I developed for my company a monolithic, user-mode, plotter driver that supports HP/GL 1. It worked perfectly recompiled and digitally signed, of course until two days ago when some of our customers applied the patches mentioned above, KB5039211 and resp. KB5039212. There is no error message EventViewer shows nothing but the HP/GL commands are simply not there. Could someone who is familiar with device drivers development explain to me what happened ? We have thousands of applications installed around the world that rely heavily on that piece of

Trying to connect to a printer that is physically on a Win 10 computer from a Win 11 computer to no avail.

Hello Geldman,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble connecting to your printer. Since you’ve already tried the solutions suggested on the internet, here are a few more things you can try:

1. Make sure that the printer is shared on the Win 10 computer. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “Share this printer” in the Sharing tab.
   
2. Ensure that the printer is visible to other devices on the network. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “List in the directory” in the Sharing tab.
   
3. Try disabling any firewalls or antivirus software temporarily on both the Win 10 and Win 11 computers to see if that resolves the issue.
   
4. Check if the printer is compatible with Windows 11. You can check the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers and software for your printer.
   
5. Try connecting the printer to a different USB port on the Win 10 computer.
   
6. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the printer to its default settings and then setting it up again.
   

I hope one of these solutions works for you,

Yes, just use the Vista x64 drivers. Should work.
