Windows 10: Windows 10 PC -- Will Not Detect HP Laserjet P1102 Printer

I have just purchased a new Dell PC and plugged in my HP Laserjet P1102 Printer, but the PC will not detect it. I have tried all the options but to no avail. It does not show up on the Printers and Scanners page on Settings.


I have downloaded the requisite drivers.


The Control Panel Devices and Printers page shows an HP P1100 printer series icon but does not allow me to choose it as my default when I right-click it (there is no option to set it as default).


The printer works perfectly well with my old PC and I had no problems installing it by way of the PC detecting it.


Is there any reason why the new PC will not detect the printer? And how can I get my PC to detect it and allow it to become my default printer?

Incomplete installation of a USB Printer - HP Laserjet P1102

Good day

I installed a HP Laserjet P1102 printer on a USB port.

I downloaded the latest driver from HP's website. The software installed fine up to the point where you connect the USB cable. It seems as if the installer does not detect the printer on the USB port and the installation does not complete succesfully.

I then uninstalled the printer again and installed the Windows Buillt In driver for the device.

That fixed part of the problem, but I am still unable to make the printer my default printer (Error Code 0x00000709).

One of my apps does not have the option to select a different printer and prints only to the default printer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards

Johan
