    If it takes more than just a driver update, what-ever OS can kiss my butt, its a printer for crying out loud....

    I've had printer troubles with every Windows OS since I started with Win 98...It seems they can never get things right. And when you try to reliably share a printer with other Windows PCs...forget it. Whenever I need that important document from another computer it'll never print the first time, but something stupid or random will. It's always been for me whenever I need something important done, Windows will fail me.

    My new wireless printer seems to work okay so far, however Windows 10 seems to like to notify me that it couldn't connect to the printer yet it still spits out what was sent to it without an actual issue...Odd

    What's the printer you are using?
