  2. How can I get Windows 10 to recognize an Unspecified Device as a Printer?

    I have installed a DYMO printer, but it is not listed as a printer but only as an Unspecified Device. How can I get Windows 10 to recognize an Unspecified Device as a Printer? All printer troubleshooting steps require it to be listed as a Printer, and
    all Help solutions assume that it can be recognized as a printer.

    An unspecified error occurred

    Hi Matija,

    The unspecified error you've received is really strange and is might be due to a variety of reasons.

    That being said, have you tried checking the DVD on a different Windows 10 PC and is getting the same error?

    In the meantime, let's run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter
    to find and repair problems with your devices and hardware:

    • Right-click the Start icon, then select Control Panel.
    • Choose the Large icons option from the View by drop down list found on the upper-right part of the Control Panel window.
    • Locate then select Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all from the left pane.
    • Locate and click Hardware and Devices to run the troubleshooter then follow the next steps.

    We'll be waiting for your response.

    Regards.
