Hi there,
One of our users can no longer print since her laptop got the most recent Windows 10 updates (her laptop is up-to-date as of this morning).
One of three things happens when she tries to print:
-- The application shows all the installed printers in the drop-down, but when she clicks print, nothing happens
-- The application shows all the installed printers in the drop-down, but when she clicks print, she gets an error saying there are no printers installed
-- The application does not show any printers
The printers are all showing in control panel.
It is not even possible to print to PDF.
I have tried restarting the print spooler service in services.msc but that hasn't helped.
Any advice?
Best

Update as of 10am 9 October 2019, Central European Time. Last night's updates broke the printer spooler again. I uninstalled last night's updates and everything works again. I have put everything on pause for 7 days until Microsoft works this out.

2019-10-09T12:23:30+00:00 Congratulations. In my case, I have a business and reinstalling everything is not the best option. I am using my lap top to print as a temporary solution. I uninstalled the upgrade and still does not print. Does anyone knows what in the world is Microsoft doing besides enjoying their MONOPOLY?
