    Im using a printer connected directly to the windows 10 pc and i cannot print from it....ultimately i connected this printer to a windows 7 pc and it worked without any problems. Both computers were on the the same network and i could print on this printer from windows 10 pc as a network printer

    I already uninstalled the printer from windows 10 pc and installed on windows 7 and works like a charm.....
    All you have to do on the Window 10 pc is to plug the printer in. Then it will either auto detect or you can go to View Devices and Printers in the Control Panel, right click and Add devices and printers. It will detect your printer. Then open the Microsoft Store and get the HP Smart app. From there you can follow what I posted above.

    Hi mate. Ive had a similar problem with a HP printer. In my case the print spooler seems to lock up. It will print te first page and then has troubles from then on, unable to cancel documents and clear the spooler. HP Smart App gave me the same problem. I sorted the problem out by going to the HP website and downloading the complete software. No problems since. I hope this helps you too
