After a windows 10 update cannot print to my Laserjet M203dw the PCL6 driver is missing and there is a PCL6 V4 driver but I cannot install because of missing element error. Cannot find the PCL6 driver on the internet can no longer communicate with my HP printers. I have uninstalled the WIndows 10 updates but still no luck....how can I get the PCL6 drivers?

@Samsky44, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I understand you are not able to install the printer driver on the Win 10 computer.
Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and fix any driver issue
Click here to download the file. Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and click on 'Fix printing'.
If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.
Did you try installing the full-feature printer driver available on the HP Support site?
Perform a clean reinstallation of pre-installed HP drivers
- In Windows, search for and open Programs and features
- Select your HP Printer
- Select Uninstall
- In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers
- In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’ or ‘Remove Device’
- Open up the run command with the “Windows key + R” key combo.
- Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
- Click on the “Drivers” tab
- Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom
- Select Ok
- Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows
- Close Devices and Printers, restart the computer.
Click here to download the HP Full-feature driver.
Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and follow the on-screen instructions.
Try printing.
Alternatively, click here to download the only available PCL6 driver for this printer.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
