When I change it back to USB001 (which it has to be, and was showing in devices and printers before with this setting), it disappears from the devices and printers window again. When I right click the printer in the drop-down menu in the print dialogue in notepad, and change the port to LPT1, appears in devices in printers. Have found only one bizarre thing that gets them to reappear (but unworkable). I have tried checking all sorts of things – computer Management/device installed service, device set up manager, device association service, all set to the correct settings (not that I had changed any), (Still working and showing in application print dialogs) My printers WERE in devices and printers, now they have suddenly disappeared. In my case the LaserJet driver is a Windows 8 built-in driver. like "did you try to reboot?" and "try using a supported driver". Problem is reported in Microsoft Forums but of course replies are stupid. The ONLY PROBLEM is the printers do not show in Devices and Printers, so I cannot control them from there. When in Notepad, select Print, I can right click on the printer, select properties, and control the printer, print test pages, change drivers and preferences, etc. Open Notepad, select Print, both printers are listed.īoth printers print. Checked registry and all printers, including the new ones, appear to be listed in all the correct registry areas. Neither printer shows in Devices and Printers.
