Windows 10 refuses to install an old printer? Then this is what you need to do.
Out-of-the-box Windows 10 does a pretty good job detecting and installing wireless as well as locally connected printers automatically. However, there are still times when you may run into problems if you're trying to add an old printer. This is not just because the device may not be supported anymore, but also because the OS now lacks basic drivers for printers and scanners.
If you or your company is still dealing with an old dot matrix, inkjet, or laser printer (from HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, etc.), which Windows 10 refuses to detect automatically, there are a number of ways to continue using the device if you're up to the challenge to use the advanced setup options or workaround to install non-compatible drivers.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through several scenarios to help install an older printer that isn't getting detected, refuses to install, or it's no longer compatible.
- How to install an older printer using advanced setup
- How to install an older printer using incompatible drivers
How to install an older printer using advanced setup
When the system isn't detecting your old printer automatically, you can still add the device manually depending on the connection type and age of the printer.
