    Windows recognition of a printer.


    I got a new printer that is exactly the same model as my old printer. When hooked up the new printer the Printer and Scanners list shows PRINTER XXXXXX and a new entry, PRINTER XXXX copy 1. If I hook up the old printer, the first entry goes online and print jobs go to it. But if I hook up the new exactly the same model printer, the first entry goes off line but the print jobs still go to it.


    I tried removing the first entry but it reappeared.


    Can someone help me sort this out?

    Printer recognition

    If you have Windows 10, you should have asked your question in the Windows 10 section rather than Windows 7.

    I'll move this thread there.

    Here are some step by step instructions for adding a printer in Windows 10.

    http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-10/how-to-add-a-printer-in-windows-10/

    If you need further assistance, please answer the questions:

    1. What is the specific model of your Dell printer?

    2. How is the printer connected and to what device is the printer connected? For example:

    • Is the printer connected by USB cable to your desktop computer?
    • Is the printer connected by USB cable to another computer?
    • Is the printer connected by an Ethernet cable to a router?
    • Is the printer connected by wifi to a router?
      • If the printer is connected by Ethernet or wifi to a router, what is the make and model of the router as shown on the label on the back or bottom of that device?
    • Is the printer connected by wifi directly to your desktop computer?

    Hi Rodrigo,

    I am sorry to know that you are having issues with Printer.

    What and all steps have you tried so far?

    Restart the computer and check.

    Also, check for Windows updates.

    I suggest you to run the Printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.


    • In Search window type Troubleshooting and click on it to open it.

    • Click on Hardware and Sound.

    • Then click on Printer to run the troubleshooter. Follow onscreen steps.
