    Are you sure that your Bluetooth services are turned on! Just in case click on 'restart the service' on both (or more) Bluetooth services.

    What do you get if you type 'print management' in the search box and click on run as administrator?

    Hiya Gerry

    print spooler starts ok no error messages

    in printers and devices just keeps on searching forever nothing displays

    printer works fine from installed software but not from emails or web pages presumably because it cant find any installed printer even though it shows in device manager

    Ron

    thanks for all your help

    What happens when you go to Devices and Printers and click on Add a Printer?
