Windows 10: Printers Compatible With my HP laptop

I couldn't get my printer to scan. I used my older laptop and now my newer. My computer had an error message that couldn't be removed so I took it to 2 repairmen one most recently. The last one restored Windows 10. I have no idea if it's Windows 10 S.


I ran out of in very quickly and I got some new ink cartridges. They were expensive. The printer just now printed one page and then printed a half page and faded away.


I have always been happy with HP laptops and printers. I paid twice what I usually paid thinking I would get a better computer for my money. It's worse.


The printer is newer than the computer and it won't work.


I would go back to my older printer but it's wasn't scanning anymore. I think because it wouldn't work with my new computer.


I guess I have to throw away the HP printers and get some other brand. I can't stand the frustration.


When this computer wears out, I'm getting another brand.


HP has become inferior since I stated buying them years ago.

Compatibility of printer

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

With the issue description, I understand that after upgrading to Windows 10 operating system your computer is not detecting and installing the HP Printer. I will certainly help you in getting this fixed. I would appreciate if you could help me with more

• Press “Windows key”, click on “Settings”
• Click on “Devices”, now click on “Printer & Scanners” in the left pane
• Click on “Devices and Printers”

Windows 10 and HP Envy 5660 Printer

Recently updated to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. I have HP Envy 5660 All-in-one Printer. I have not been able to connect this printer to my laptop on my home network since the upgrade. I can print on it from my desktop, phone, and ipad.

I have tried the following:

• Downloaded and redownloaded software and driver for printer
• Checked compatibility with HP site, and says my printer is compatible
• Downloaded driver for Windows 8.1 and installed it in compatibility mode as suggested
• Troubleshooting printer many times to no avail

Printer shows up in my home network in Control Panel, but says "not connected" or sometimes "offline". Have spent hours trying to resolve this issue. Is there a solution? Or do I need to go back to Windows 8, and wait until Windows 10 has the drivers I need.
Is the problem with Windows 10 or with my HP printer? Very frustrated!!!!
