Windows 10: Printer stopped working - cannot remove printer

Printer wifi attached stopped working when I returned home after a trip. I checked settings and discovered that there were two entries for the same printer I did NOT install the printer twice. I tried to remove the extra device to re-install, but system never moves beyond the 'removing device' stage.

Printer advice

hp printers have the most expensive ink of all printers, the most economical is cannon and epson so i suggest if you looking to keep costs down look at those brands.

that being said it may not have the best print quality if it uses less costly ink.

if keeping cost down is the most important then shop in reverse, find a brand that has cheap replacement ink cartridges then see what printers they are used on. then from that list look to see if you like any of those printers and if they are affordable to you, if not then select another ink cartridge and look at the printers that those are used on. this method will give you the most affordable printer and the cheapest cost of replacement ink.

personally i use the refillable ink cartridges like these: http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/catalog/Our-Epson-Refill-Kits-orderby0-p-1-c-4.html

Snagit printer stopped working

Hello everyone. I'm trying to help someone whose Snagit printer stopped working. It stopped working when Snagit was updated from version 21.4.2 to version 24.0.1.555. It's a Windows 11 laptop, Version 22H2. He's trying to print from a document, like a PDF file, to Snagit. The Snagit 2024 printer is on the printer list and you can select it, and it looks like it's going to work except nothing happens. Usually it would pop up in the the Snagit editor. I even went to Printers & scanners in the Windows settings and tried a test page from the Snagit 2024 printer listed in there. You can see it appear in the print queue and then it disappears. We tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the software and that didn't help. I'm not sure what else to do. I attached a screenshot that kind of shows what we're trying to do. Thanks
