    Networked printers and Windows 10 - unable to do specific search but wade through hundreds...


    I work for a government office. There are literally hundreds of networked printers. With older versions of Windows I was able to search for a specific printer address or enter an address. Windows 10 does not allow me to do that but instead displays a horrendous list of network printers which I must wade through to try and find the printer I'm looking for. Is there a workaround to avoid this and do the old printer specific search?

    :)
