Well, my story is a bit weird... because it happened at my work. It was that really bad day that everyone has once in a year I guess...
It was 2 o'clock and I got this call from one of the stores I control from my office, all she said was " I need the printer to work immediately" and I was like "huh, what?", she said "please".
So what I first said was "fuck" but then I remembered I used a method once when I was young and that method helped me that day. You are asking why? Right?
Well check this out
- go to services.msc
- look for printer spooler and stop it
- go to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers
- delete all file inside that folder called Printers but never EVER delete the Printers folder
- shut down your computer and unplug the problematic printer for at least 60 seconds
- WAIT FOR MAGIC
