Windows 10: Printer prints arbitrary bold lines

I'm using Windows 10 and find that documents created without any bold fonts look fine on the screen but print some lines bold. I have a Canon Pixma 7160 printer and have updated the drivers in the hope that it might fix the problem but without any success.


Any suggestions?

Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


I have three computers.
Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

1. Remove the printer device.
2. Add a Printer
3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
4. Select a shared printer by name
5. Browse
6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
7. Select the displayed Printer.
8. Next
9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
11. Next
12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
14. Additional Port information required.
15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
16. Next
17. Detecting the Driver Model
18. Install The Print Driver
19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
20. Next
21. Replace the Current Driver
22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
23. Next
24. Do not share this printer
25. Next
26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
27. Finish

Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.

Highlighting a few lines prior to Printing


I wanted to print a page from the web and show it to my doctor.

I hooked the printer up to my laptop and prepared to print.

I was going to highlight a few lines to show her and I thought I would make them bold.

I thought it might be more professional than underlining them with a pen or using a yellow highlighter.

I was able to highlight the lines I wanted to spotlight, but when I right clicked, there was nothing to make bold.

I could not find anything at the top of the page I wanted to print or anything from the printer to make them bold.

Do I have to copy the page to WORD and then bold the lines or can I do it from the printer and the original page?

I recently read that MSFT is going to start charging people for a subscription to use their software.
Will it be like buying an annual subscription for MSFT Word?
What will happen if our subscription lapses and we cut on our computers? Will we be able to log on or will the screen be blank?
Is this correct, when is it suppose to happen?

Thanks
