Windows Update 0x800f020b Error


When I run Windows Update on Windows 10 (ver 1511), I get the following error:

Hewlett-Packard - Imaging - Null Print - HP Deskjet 3520 series - Error 0x800f020b

I looked up the 0x800f020b error code and it says this occurs when an attempt is made to update drivers for a device that isn't connected. In my particular case, this device is connected via the wireless network and appears in my list of available Printers.

How do I get rid of this error?

In Windows 10 Home edition, which doesn’t have Group Policy Editor: By changing the Registry. Problem is I don’t know the device Hardware ID for a device that doesn’t exist. Any suggestions would be appreciated to clear this issue, thanks in advance Rebel Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3324)
