Windows 10: Printer Installation Problem

I cannot get an HP1320 HCL5 Laser Printer to print on a new Dell Inspiron 3880 running Windows v10.0.19042. Install seems to go fine. I get messaged that the printer is working properly, but when I try to print test page or a test document, I am messaged that there is a problem with printer installation. Very frustrating.... I see that others are having similar issues with HP printers. I've tried many of the suggested solutions, but without satisfaction. Help!

Mac OSX USB printer problem

OK i just bought the Canon IP4500 usb printer and installed it on the mac following hte instructions to the letter.

No printer is found and i cannot add it in the Printer list, cause theres no option for USB printer installation, only Appletalk, Bluetooth, and Windows Printing.

I have downloaded the latest drivers etc... but no luck *Bang Head :banghead:

As it is i dont like macs but now with a simple thing as this i dislike them even more.

Last resort is trying installing the printer on a Vista pc and see if it works, if it does then the mac is up to shit, if it does not install then the printer is up to shit.

Anyone had a similar problem maybe and how did you overcome it?
