Freeware Spotlight three tools to make your printer print

By Deanna McElveen

The last few builds of Windows 10 have not played=20
well with LAN and Wi-Fi printers. It's not as if=20
our printers didn't have enough problems with just a USB connection.

I spend a lot of time fixing customers' printing=20
issues and the networking issues caused by=20
Windows updates. It seems like half of what we do at our shop these days.

How do we fix our printer woes on a tight budget?=20
Freeware to the rescue! You really can't do better than free.

Our first free tool is one we discussed not too=20
long ago. But it has a secret weapon. Have your=20
computers and devices not been seeing each other=20
on your network? Is that one network printer that=20
has been an unwavering workhorse for years now=20
refusing to print? Let's fire that Complete=20
Internet Repair by Rizonesoft back up, and we'll=20
make simple work of a normally time-consuming=20
fix. Need to download it? Grab it from=20

I can copy more if you need but the above should get you started.

I have no idea if this will help but I think that it shouldn't hurt.
