Dell 1710 laser printer problem
Hello, I have a dell 1710 laser printer installed on my Lenovo helix. I had the Lenovo and an HP desktop connected
to the printer via a switch so that I could share the printer. I was not using the HP desktop so I removed the switch and connected the Lenovo directly. It has not worked since.
I have the disk that came with the dell 1710 but windows 10 is not able to install from that disk (too old I expect).
I have tried various methods to install the driver but without success.
when I go to settings, devices, it does show the dell laser printer 1710 and below it is Default, error.
when I print a test page it appears in the dialog box but status is blank and it fails to print.
when I go to the device manager there are no printers showing.
any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
