Windows 10: Printer driver installing problem

I'm trying to install Sharp AR-206 network printer. Driver will be found from Windows Update, but Windows won't install it . I just get notice "Printer driver not installed".



With my other computers (also Win10Pro) I don't have this problem. Is there any way to install this printer?

:)
