    And KB4052623 &/or KB4537572 broke printing to a physical printer. Nothing prints now.

    And yes, I've gone through all of the usual Bull to try to fix what Microsoft's Updates constantly break.

    After KB4052623 & KB4537572 were installed on 2/29/2020, I can no longer print ANYTHING to my printer.

    I've already gone through re-installing the printer, reboot the laptop, troubleshooting, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,.......

    I then installed the "optional" WU (KB4535996) that was supposed to "Updates an issue that prevents some applications from printing to network printers."

    It still cannot print a Test Page nor anything else.

    Printer was working fine until KB4052623 & KB4537572 were installed (2/29/2020).

    It instantly fails with "Error - Printing" in the Print Queue.

    There are NO ERRORS in Device Manager nor when running the troubleshooters.

    Ditto for Event Viewer.

    In Device Manager, the "Print queue", "Printers", & "WSD Print Provider" ALL say "This device is working properly.".

    I can printer to a PDF file.

    This is EXACTLY like the last time Microsoft Updates broke the Printer just a few months ago when it failed to print in color to a physical printer.

    It worked fine printing in color to a PDF.

    But this time it is worse.

    NOTHING PRINTS!!!! Not even a Test Page.

    TEST YOUR UPDATES BEFORE POSTING THEM LIVE!!!!!

    And fix this printer issue the last few updates broke.
