Windows 10: Printer driver unavailable after printer install in windows 10

How do I get my printer drivers recognized?

:)

 

Printer driver unavailable

Windows 10 (Add Printer and Scanner feature) recognize the printer on the wireless network. It's just that it is unable to install the printer driver. I get a "Driver is Unavailable" error message.

 

Printer driver unavailable Windows 10

My Canon MG71500 printer works perfectly from my ipad but not from my (new) laptop which has windows 10. It did work then stopped. The computer locates the printer but says driver unavailable, but Device Manager tells me I have the correct driver for the
printer. Any suggestions please. Ronski
