  2. New Printer Not Showing in Devices & Printers (But Does Show in Device Manager)

    Now I have no printers and Devices and Printers at all, not even a banner (but it still shows in Device Manager).

    I have uninstalled all the new Brother printer driver & utilities programs (again) and rebooted (again). I also turned off MS XPS print services from Programs and Features, just in case. In Device Manager, I clicked ‘Show hidden devices’ and found
    three instances of the old printer plus the old Prolific Parallel – USB adapter cable (now returned & refunded). All these were ghosted out but I uninstalled all of them anyway.

    I checked ‘spooling’ in ‘Services’ and this is set to ‘Automatic’ (and is ‘Running’).

  3. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

  4. Why doesn't Device Manager show the my printer driver version?

    My printer driver is under unknown devices in my device manager

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Please reply:

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    Follow the steps below and see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    If your device shows up as Unknown the best way is to just right-click on it and click Update Driver Software. Check if it shows an error message or code. If it does please reply with the error message and error code.

    Method 2:

    • Go to the Device Manager and expand Printers & Scanners.
    • Right click on Unknown Device and select Properties.
    • Go to the Driver tab and click Uninstall.
    • Restart your system.
    Let us know what happens.

    If you still face issues, you might have to check the compatibility of your printer and download the drivers from the manufacturer’s website in compatibility mode.

    Hope this helps. Awaiting your response.

    Regards,
