Windows 10 and print driver issue
This is a bit long but I did use spacing between thought. Waisted a week with Microsoft and HP trying to resolve, knowing that I always get better info here. Had older Dell Core 2 and HP6988 wit...

Not familiar with your issue, but I did have a problem with Windows 10 1803 on one of my three computers that I upgraded to it. It was an older Gateway desktop and Win 10 got hung up in a recent update issue and a clean install of Win 10 did the same thing on that PC. Seaches online found no help for my problem.
I realized that for what I used that computer for I didn't need Windows so I downloaded Zorin OS (Linux) just to see if Linux was a solution. It was and one of the things that surprised me was printer installation. I have two printers (one a Canon and one an Epson) that are both connected via wifi. The Zorin OS beat Windows completely in ease of installing these two printers and it was done by simply telling Zorin to search for printers and it found them, installed the necessary drivers and they both worked flawlessly. Now Windows will do that also, but not in the simple and fast way Zorin OS did it.
I am sure a Linux system doesn't meet all needs (it doesn't for me) but I think a lot of PC users are missing a free solution that entirely meets their needs and no antivirus is needed. And I found online installation tutorials that made it easily doable albeit with a little education on that environment.
