    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

    :)

  2. 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.

    Reference: Click on the link: Fix printer problems

    Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.

  3. 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

  6. 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

    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.,
