  2. Windows 10 recognizes my printer+scanner only as a printer.

    Hello,

    Another method you may try is to uninstall and reinstall the printer. The following are the steps:



    Remove your printer

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners.
    • Under Printers & scanners, find the printer, select it, and then select Remove device.


    Install or add a local printer

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners.
    • Under Printers & Scanners, see if your printer is installed.
    • If you don’t see your device, select Add a printer or scanner. Wait for it to find available printers, choose the one you want, and then select Add device.


    On the other hand, we suggest also that you reach out the manufacturer of your printer/scanner for the driver availability or work around.



    Regards.

  3. Windows 11 Update - Printers 'not connected'

    Try removing and reinstalling the printer.

    Remove your printer

    Select the Start button, then select Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & scanners .

    Open Printers & scanners settings

    Select the printer you want to uninstall.

    Select the Remove button. Then confirm you're sure you want to remove this device by selecting Yes.

    Reinstall your printer

    If your printer is turned on and connected to the network, Windows should find it easily. Available printers can include all printers on a network, such as Bluetooth and wireless printers, or printers that are plugged into another computer and shared on the network. You might need permission to install some printers. To reinstall your printer, follow these steps:

    Select the Start button, then select Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & scanners .

    Open Printers & scanners settings

    Make sure your printer is turned on and connected. Then select the Add device (or Refresh) button.

    Please wait a moment while Windows searches for the printers that are connected to the device (locally or wirelessly). Windows will then display a list of printers connected to your device. If you see your printer listed, select the Add device button for your printer. If you don't see your device listed, select Add manually.

  4. Printer scanner won't connect to Windows 11

    Printer Scanner

    Hi TT,

    As shown on the screen shots shown before, the printer is listed in devices, but doesnt appear with the Windows 10 printers and scanners section.

    However, the printer does appear to be working at the moment, so I will let it be at that, just strange it should show on one listing but not the other.

    Thanks for your input.
