Windows 10: Windows Latest Update and Lexmark P205 Printer not Communicating

I recently did the latest couple of Windows 10 updates.
I have a Lexmark P205 Inkjet Printer that is a few years old.

Now, I cannot print from my laptop - either by Wifi or by connecting the printer directly to it.
I cannot uninstall the Printer, as it's CD installation was for Windows 8.
Any suggestions besides having to go out any buy another Printer?

Thank you!

:)

How to get Windows 10 to find & retain a Lexmark CS310 printer?


Hello.

Windows 10 will not find my Lexmark CS310 printer that I want to use as the default printer.

After first installing Win 10, It found the printer and let me set it as the default. The printer was repeated in the list of printers in this way:
Lexmark CS310
Lexmark CS310 (Copy 1)

When I deleted the "Copy 1" listing, Win 10 removed *both* listings for the printer and now cannot find it. I have searched in various ways including the one about my printer is old, but all to no avail.

I can still print using that printer, but it will not retain it as the default (so I have to manually select it each time) and will not add it to the list of printers.

I read the thread "Turn On or Off Let Windows 10 Manage Default Printer in Settings" then checked my settings and saw that "Let Windows manage my default printer" is selected, but the computer does not retain the Lexmark CS310 printer after printing with that printer and cannot find it when I search for the printer.

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Launch Lexmark Printer Home app not working

I have a Lexmark Prospect Pro 205 which is no longer under warranty.

Here's the problem: I can no longer use the Launch Lexmark Printer Home app from the desktop. When I click on the app, it reads "no compatible printers are installed."

I believe this problem commenced after a Windows 10 update was installed.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Lexmark driver, used the print troubleshooter, all to no avail.

The above stated problem happened once, or twice, previously, but I was able to remedy the issue.

Note: The Lexmark printer is listed in the Settings-Devices section.

In addition, small squares are printed on the test printer page.

Any suggestions from the Community is appreciated.
