Windows 10: Printer communication error after windows udate.

I am using canon LBP 2900 B Printer. It was working fine for at least 3 years.but after a windows update it keep saying communication error. I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and printer. Still nothing worked. Printer is working good with another pc.

Can't share printer—getting error message

Step 1: Go to store.
Step 2: Buy a less shitty printer.
Step 3: Pick up some beer while you are there.
Step 4: Enjoy both your new printer and your beer.

In all seriousness, I have had more issues with Lexmark printers and their shitty drivers then any other manufacturer, HP is a close second though.

However, if you don't want to get a new printer*Laugh :laugh:, and I can understand that, when my Lexmark was giving me the same troubles in Win7(and Vista) I had to make sure the Windows firewall was ON and the firewall service was enabled and running. After I shared it I could re-disable the firewall and firewall services.
