  1. Problem with printer after the latest update


    The last Windows 10 update (1903) resulted in my printer stopped working and I cannot manage it via Printers anymore . The Manage button comes to nothing. Is it an update bug?

    :)

  4. Problem with printer after the latest update

    printer problem

    Printer driver issue. Possibly caused by, but not limited to:

    • Corrupted drivers
    • Driver missing an update
    • Incompatible drivers

    Is this the first time you are going to use that printer?

    Suggestion:

    • Uninstall the drivers from your computer completely.
    • Download the latest drivers of your printer from the manufacturer website.
    • Install the latest drivers.
    NOTE: Make sure that the printer drivers will support Windows 10.
