Hi Sandytechy20,

Thank you for the info. I don't know if it worked because the link you provided to re-install won't open.

I am running Windows 10, 64 bit on a Sony VAIO laptop. Please advise a compatible link to re-install the printer & drivers. Let me know if you need any further info.

Many thanks!
