  1. Pinters stop working


    Hello,


    I am using windows 10 and recently the printers stopped working.

    I have two different printers attached, a Samsung by cable, and a Xerox that can be cable or Wifi.

    The first thing I did was uninstall the printers and reinstall them in case they'd missed a drive update or similar, but nothing.

    I ran the "fix printer problems" bit and they came thorugh it fine, so I sent the test page to print. The laptop says it is printing but nothng is coming out.


    I tested using my phone and I could print to the Xerox perfectly.

    The Xerox can also connect to my one drive and print directly from it (using the Xerox pad).

    So the problem seems to be with the laptop itself.


    Has anyone else had this problem/know a fix? I tried searching for one but the majority of the answers came up with reinstall the printers.


    Thanks


    Lee

  2. Windows 10 infinite restart black screen


    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
