The variety of problems some users who upgraded to Windows 10, is truly astounding. While the upgrade went smoothly for me on all my devices, several users have been facing a plethora of Windows 10 problems. While Microsoft has been quick to release several automated solutions to fix Windows 10 issues, the frustration among some who still face issues is understandable. There is one set of users who are facing Printer problems after upgrading from Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to Windows 10. Some are reporting that the Printer is not being detected or recognized, the Printer is disconnecting, Printer cannot scan or print, Printer or Scan is busy or in use and Printer is offline kind of messages.

Microsoft has updated and released its Printer Troubleshooter to specifically fix issues being faced by users in Windows 10.

This Printer troubleshooter will check if:

1. You have the latest Printer drivers, and fix and or update them
2. If you have connectivity issues
3. If the Print Spooler and required Services are running fine

Cannot print in Windows 10

If this does not help and you are still facing problems, your printer may need a new driver. To do this, open Start, enter Devices and Printers and select it.

Select your Printer. Then select Remove device from the top of the window.

Now if Windows doesn’t automatically find a new driver, search on the device manufacturer’s website and follow their download and installation instructions.

Tip: The Touch Keyboard Troubleshooter from Microsoft will help you fix problems with the Touch keyboard.
