    win 10 can't find stuff and printers do not work?


    Windows 10 did not find the blue tooth on my computer? And I eventually got my printers listed but neither of them work. oki printer after request to print show 3 possible reasons 1 not enough memory??? cable bad???? They worked fine with Windows 7 ! And well so then they seemed to get the ads on the included games to work somewhat OK why can't they get older equipment to work also? And I do not want to hear how old stuff just does not work with new **** they put out? They are increasing their carbon foot print by millions? They are not old the oki driver is on win 10 just does not work?

    Seems all tech companies want to do these days is try to sell ads! and follow everyone to the bathroom or wherever they may be going. Sorry for the edit just tired of being required to purchase new operating system after new operating system to have the last one turn into garbage because they want to sell another one! And I know I am not the only person saying this. Just talked to a relative who had to junk his computer because it just did not work after update to win 10? More junk created?

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Win 10 Network Printer Connection Problem

    I have tried, when using the wifi from a Win 7 computer to connect to the printer connected to it. Others can connect.

    I did do the three steps outlined:

    • Open File Explorer. Pick the "Network" icon from the left pane (navigation pane) of the file explorer UI.
    • If sharing is turned off you will see a pale yellow line towards the top of the window that states "Network Discovery is turned off. Network computers and devices are not visible. Click to change...".
    • Click this bar and select "Turn on network discovery and file sharing"

    None of the suggestion worked.

    I did notice that the PC I'm connecting to is 'Private' while I am listed as 'Public'.

    • Can this be causing the problem?
    • Are there other suggestions?

    I need to be connected to use the other printer so work flow can not be disrupted and someone else needs to print the file for me.

    I will be with this group again on Monday.

    Thank you.

  4. win 10 can't find stuff and printers do not work?

    Following Win 10 Update (1803): Unable to print (Printer offline message).

    Printer Samsung ML2950 Series.

    I have followed all the suggestions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027397/windows-10-fix-printer-problems

    None of them fix the problem.

    The printer is working fine. Another WIN 10 computer on the network is able to print to the printer without issue.

    Latest updates:

    • WIN 10 1803

    and

    • Security Update for Adobe Flash for Win 10 1803 KB4338832

    I uninstalled KB4338832 and the problem persists, so I presume that the problem is with the 1803 update (as that took around 2 hours to install, I'm reluctant to uninstall it to test it).
