Hello Everyone,

 

Following a repair of my Lenovo laptop, I was unable to operate my Deskjet 2050 all-in-one J510a printer.

 

I re-downloaded it and it shows in my Programmes in my Control Panel.

I did not get a quick start icon when it was downloaded, and I cannot find how to obtain one.

 

It will print from a Word Document using 'print' under the 'file' options, but I cannot open the control to choose to scan or any other action.

 

It also does not appear amongst the programmes shown when clicking on the 'start' icon at the left of the task bar.

 

If anyone can advise me how to obtain a quick start I will be most grateful!

 

NOTE: I am well past my sell-by date, so please keep the explanation simple!! -

 

Thank you!

Colin.
