    WIN 11 problem - printer not working


    Suddenly WIN 11 blocks my Epson ET-4750 - MSG:' “The scanner is in use or unavailable. Please wait. E1460-B305”. It has been much over 10 days since change, everything I read says to go back within 10 days so I can't do that. Epson says it is fault of WIN 11. HELP!

    :)

    HP Deskjet 9300 printer on Win 7 or Win 8.1

    But it does ask you to connect the printer

    Step Two
    11. Connect the USB cable to the product, and connect the USB cable to the computer. A Device driver software was not successfully installed window opens.

    Step three:
    3. Click the drop down menu, and then change the port from LPT1 to USB or DOT4.virtual

    If you connect the printer in Step two #11 then maybe when you get to Step three #3 there will be USB port in the list.

    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.
