My printer recently stopped printing. It always directs me to save the file under the PRN format. I do not how this problem started.  How do I get my printer back to printing properly?

 

Thank you

Probably problem due to Windows 1o updates. Please download and install the following software and drivers

Hello Banhein,

 

Thank you for your suggestion. I downloaded the link you sent me but it did not work. It is still just asking me o save as a file. I have a screenshot of the problem. I do not see the ability to send it to you. Any other advice from you would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your expertise and help. It is much appreciated.

 

Terry
