    Windows 10 will not recognize a printer that has been on an HP laptop computer for 5 years


    Printer stopped printing and after reloading drivers, Settings/Printers & Devices will not recognize the printer. Ran HP Printer & Scan Doctor and it found the printer but couldn't install driver and didn't update Settings/Printers & Devices that the printer exists. Any suggestions on how to get Windows 10 to recognize a printer?

    :)

    Hi,

    The status of your printer will become offline if it can't communicate with your laptop. To isolate your issue, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Have you tried connecting your printer to another computer/laptop?
    • Have you tried connecting your laptop to another printer?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article     to change the printer status to online. If the issue still persists, we recommend that you clear the spooler files and restart spooler service by clicking on this

    link    .

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    HP All In One Printer/Scanner/FAX J6400 series - Can't scan w/Windows 10

    I have done everything that you have suggested and Windows 10 still will not allow me to scan. All my HP drivers are current and the HP online help process indicates that my printer is fine and online. Any other suggestions?
