Step by Step

- Turn off Let Windows manage my default printer, then explicitly set the desired printer as default.
- Test the device again before making additional changes.
- If the problem remains, check Windows Settings and Device Manager, then use the manufacturer's official support information for the exact model.
If That Doesn't Work
- Change one thing at a time so you know which action fixed or caused the problem.
- Avoid downloading drivers or device utilities from unofficial driver-download websites.
