hello everyone how are you doing
this is md tech here with another quick
tutorial
in today's tutorial i'm going to show
you guys how to resolve if you're coming
across a printer driver is unavailable
error on your windows 10 computer
so this could definitely be a
frustrating issue and in today's
tutorial i'm going to show you guys how
to hopefully resolve it without too much
of a hassle
and we're going to go ahead and jump
straight into it so first thing i
recommend doing here would be to open up
the
start menu let's type in
device manager best results should come
back with device manager
go ahead and open that up
you want to expand the section that says
queue and double click on it right click
on whatever printer you're having a
problem with
and select uninstall device select
uninstall
and then once you've done that you want
to close out of here
restart your computer and then you also
want to unplug your printer and plug it
back in if it's a wired connection if
it's wireless then you just would walk
through the printer setup utility built
into windows so
this would open up the start menu type
in printer best match would say printers
and scanners
and underneath that you can see it's
actually a shortcut here to add a
printer or scanner
go ahead and select that and you would
just walk through the add a printer or
scanner utility here
you would scan for printers on your
network so go ahead and make sure your
printer is turned on obviously and
connected to your network if it is a
wireless printer
and then just go through and install it
and that's pretty much it guys
you also want to consider if your
printer is in the default printer
so you might have to go down to printers
and scanners and go ahead and select
the printer that you want to set as
default then you would select manage
and you want to go ahead and set it as
your default printer
so what you would do is uncheck where it
says let windows manage my default
printer
and then you would select whichever
printer you want is default
select manage and then you would set it
as default so
if for some reason windows wasn't
recognizing your correct default printer
you go ahead and select the correct one
and then open it up like i just showed
you guys here and then you would set as
default
so pretty straightforward process guys
do hope that i was able to help you out
and i do look forward to catching you
all in the next tutorial
goodbye
