Hello. I have a recent problem that may have developed with a microsoft update. I am getting an error message that indicates that my printer cannot connect to the web server. However, I have my computer in Microsoft S mode so I cannot download the HP scan doctor to fix the problem. What else can I do?Thank you -

printer issues

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows.

• Is it a wired or wireless printer?
• Is the printer connected via network to your computer?

I suggest you to make printer as a default printer you can follow the below steps:

• Press Windows key+ X and select
  device manager.
• Select devices and printers
• Right click on the printer you want to use, and then click
  set as default printer (You'll see a check mark on the printer's icon signifying that it's now your default printer).

I suggest you to update the drivers for the printers and check if it helps.

I also recommend you to run the print troubleshooter to check the issue.
