2020-06-18 14:01
Windows 10 updates released as part of last week's Patch Tuesday appear to be making life hard for some printer users.
Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup.
The print spooler might throw an error or close unexpectedly when attempting to print, and no output will come from the affected printer.
The print spooling issue can be bypassed by connecting a powered-on printer to a USB port before starting Windows.
The latest screw-up follows hot on the heels of May's printer security vulnerability, PrintDemon.
