Title: Printing using Windows 10.
Post by: Kleftiwallah on April 07, 2021, 17:30

Why is it so damn difficult to simply print a letter using Windows 10? 
As in "It duz my 'ead in"!

Cheers,   Tony.

Check good old Control Panel, look at devices including printers. Make sure the printer you are sending to is shown, set it as the default.

It should print after that.

You may have to delete old print jobs that gave error messages, or print them, before printing anything new.

There was something passed under my eye about the last Windows update causing problems with printers

Mmmm, mine seems to work ok on my pc (not laptop or smartphone as I don't have them) but I occasionally had a glitch when things wouldn't print for some reason but I finally got them to do it by some means and all is ok now.

Sometimes mine doesn't print immediately, so I press it again, and eventually get several copies.  Mrs Bouquet
