    PRINTER PROBS AFTER WINDOW UPDATE


    Anyone have printer probs and receiving this msg after an update recently.

    I cannot print from my computer but Okay from Phone


    Call to Driveruninstall returned error 5 for package C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\Filerepository\hpwia_en6540.inf_amd_3b5186f9e88dece6\hpwia_en5640.inf. A caller of DriverackageInstall must be a member of the Administrators group to install a driver package.
