when to retire an old printer vs fight for a driver

ugh. reading this at 2am instead of sleeping, no regrets

uhh wait does this also apply to legacy?... my laptop is officially haunted ??

oh ive been there lol try turning off the update first, fixed it for me worked for me anyway 🤷

for me it was teh power plan. swapped it and boom, fixed. this. so much this hope that helps :)

@silicon_wrangler did u ever fix it? ??

bump

sometimes a new printer costs less than the time spent troubleshooting... old printers can also have parts and toner availability issues. idk maybe im wrong lol

hmmmm not sure about that respectfully disagree, i tried that and it made request worse... pro tip: write down what u change, i didnt and had to redo driver from scratch

@patch_forge the Windows Update list had my model. installed it, printed a test page, done! u guys are the best!!!
