The variety of problems some users who upgraded to Windows 10, is truly astounding. While the upgrade went smoothly for me on all my devices, several users have been facing a plethora of Windows 10 problems. While Microsoft has been quick to release several automated solutions to fix Windows 10 issues, the frustration among some who still face issues is understandable. There is one set of users who are facing Printer problems after upgrading from Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to Windows 10. Some are reporting that the Printer is not being detected or recognized, the Printer is disconnecting, Printer cannot scan or print, Printer or Scan is busy or in use and Printer is offline kind of messages.
Microsoft has updated and released its Printer Troubleshooter to specifically fix issues being faced by users in Windows 10.
