Can't unpause network printer

Just 2 computers in our workgroup (still works under windows 10).

We have a HP 1102w installed on one computer on a USB port. This works fine from that computer, connected using a USB cable.

An annoyance in Windows 7 was that I had to unpause the printer on the other computer after each reboot to allow printing to occur. Now we are on Windows 10, the Pause Printing option is checked, and greyed out.

I have tried:

• Uninstall/reinstall
  
• checked permissions (Everyone can manage)
  
• Drivers from HP (useless - they won't install a shared printer)
  
• forced reinstall by using network browse to locate printer
  

Drive share still works, and i can also access the admin shares (C$, D$, etc)

Any other steps to try?

 

Pause updates unpaused itself

Running the latest Creator's Update and my paused updates just unpaused themselves.

The PITA factor with this OS's updating just continues to grow. Anyone else have their paused updates 'unpaused' by this monstrosity of frustration?

PS I paused from advanced settings under Windows Update Settings and it should have had more than month of limit before I 'had' to unpause. And I never turned off or restarted my machine.
