Now is also the time to check for any newer printer firmware to install which matters a lot.ħ) Extract Printer software, right click Setup file to Run as Administrator. Restart PC.ĥ) Delete old printer drivers for unused printers that can interfere:Ħ) Go to the printer model’s Support Downloads webpage to download and install the latest full software package. In Control Panel open Devices and Printers, right click printer to delete Printer and any scanner or fax of the same name. Then do the same for any other printers listed that you do not regularly use.Ĥ) Now type Control Panel in Start Search, open CP, choose Icon View. If prompted include the full software package as well. Then Rather than spending too much more time fiddling I'd simply Clean Install the printer which always works, lasts longer and actually saves time:ġ) Power up the printer, if wired unplug it's USB cable from PC.Ģ) Go to Settings>Apps>Apps and Features to find and Uninstall any printer software.ģ) Go into Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start button, from View tab Show Hidden Devices, open Printer, on Driver tab if present Uninstall the driver. See here how to exit the overprotective SMode which is more for a school or business that wants to severely restrict users:
You really need to exit the unnecessary S Mode in order to install the full printer software package from the manufacturer's website for your model, as otherwise important features like scanning from the printer top or ink alerts will not transmit to your PC.
