Windows 10: None of the 2 printers work on Windows 10 T.P.

hi guys,

have a Oki C710 and a Lexmark E360dn, both worked fine on Win 8.1, but since the latest updates from MS, yesterday or the day before, my print spooler program always stops working.

Claiming that the Lexmark is attached to a USB3 port. Strange never had this problem before.

SO when i disconnect the Lexmark from my pc then the Oki does the same, stopping the Print Spooler.

The Oki is attached to another computer working on Win 8.1, so i guess it is not the USB port that is causing the problem.
I attached the Lexmark to an external device where you can put on 7 different devices and that is a very old device.

include a snip where you can see that Start needs to be activated.

So, anyone knowing what i can do to fix this?

i reinstalled the Lexmark, but no luck so far.

If i do not reply, i leave on a holiday tomorrow, be back on dec 2d.

thanks

Jeff

none of the network printers will print from my computer

Hi,

Thank you posting on Microsoft Community.

I will be glad to assist you with the issue you are experiencing with the computer. I understand the difficulty when things won’t work the way they should.

I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue. Did you make any recent changes prior to the issue?

Please follow the steps and try resolving this issue:

Method 1: Run
Printer troubleshooter after connecting the printer.

• Press the ‘Start’ Button.
• Type Troubleshooting.
• Select Troubleshooting and press
  Enter.
• Click on view all on the left side and select
  Printer.
• Click next and follow the on-screen instructions.

Method 2: Change the
Print Spooler service type.

• Press Windows +R keys.
• Type services.msc in the box and press enter.
• Now locate services called Print Spooler, make sure the services are
  Started.
• Right click on the service and click
  Stop.
• Click Apply and then click
  ok.

Note: After installing the printer make sure you
Turn On this Print Spooler Service again by following the same steps.

Method 3: Turn off the
Windows Firewall and check adding the Printing device and
Turn On after installing.

• Open Windows Firewall by clicking the
  Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type
  Windows Firewall, and then click
  Windows Firewall.
  
• Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off on the left side. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• Click Turn off Windows Firewall (not recommended) under each network location that you want to stop trying to protect, and then click
  OK.

Warning: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall might make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage from worms or hackers.

none of the network printers will print from my computer

All of a sudden, none of my network printers will print from my computer. I just reinstalled Windows 10, my printers are all connected to my network, but my computer can't communicate with the printers. My computer is also connected to the network. All
printers are online.

I have tried all the solutions I can come up with, but nothing has worked. They won't print from my table either. Getting very frustrated.

 

well installed the Lexmark on another computer and that works fine.

Can even print on the Oki, BUT cannot set it as default printer and the Oki is after 2 minutes no longer recognized.

So again i must start the Print Spooler, although the print spooler says active, but when you open it, it is not.

strange

I tried to print something off but I don't know why it didn't work .. it is out of toner but it could be something else. I'll see if I can eek out a few more pages out of the toner cartridge and test it out today. Printer: Brother HL-2170W..

After updating to the latest and greatest W10TP, my printers were gone as well as my Logitech T650 trackpad.

Had to re-install software for both and now both work fine. Printer is Brother MFC-490CW.

 

I think that I'm going to have to do the same.
Thanks for the tip.
Jeff

EDIT: I just pluged in the printer and it was found with no issues by Win10 and it works fine.
Now all I need is more toner and paper. LOL

 

well i cannot add a printer, when i try that, i get ...see my pic here

cannot restart over and over gain, cannot start print spooler also over and over....

I also have the same problem with my Brother HL-2140. If this doesn't get fixed it could be a show stopper for a lot of us.

It is the 9879 build doing this as 9860 was fine.

 

I would get the drivers for the printer and install them.
Can't hurt to try.,

Jeff

 

Yep, removed the printer and re-installed and I am printing again. Just hope it is permanent!
