Print Error Deskjet 450 Windows 10

[fbc450]

Hi all,

I have a functioning HP 450 which does not seem to want to work with my HP windows 10 laptop.

When i try to print, the paper starts to feed (does NOT jam) and then stops, with error state coming up in the print queue.

I've run scan doctor, says that the wrong port is assigned, but it cannot repair this even after restart. I've tried reassigning port, but i'm not technically savvy enough to do so. Also have unistalled and reinstalled drivers/software.

Any ideas on how to get it up and running?

Thank you!!

This is the procedure I used to make Windows 10 work with my HP Deskjet 450 printer

Integration of Windows 10 to HP Deskjet 450

1. Connect the printer to a USB port and turn on the printer

2. Open Device Manager

3. Locate HP 450 (DOT4USB) under Universal Serial Bus Controllers

4. Right-click and click update driver software

5. Click Browse on my computer for drivers

6.( Click Let me choose from a list of device drivers for my computer) Maybe not neccessary.

7. Click Microsoft

8. Click USB Printing Support

9. Click Next

10. Click if the installation is complete to close

 

Open devices and printers

Search for HP 450 and open features of HP450 (not HP 450 (copy 1))

Click ports and choose USB 001 (on Dot4xxx) where copy 1 already exists, click Apply and close

Open Features of HP450 (not HP 450 (copy 1)) again and choose ports, then select Dot4xxx and apply and close.

You now see 2 HP 450 printers, 1 with Copy 1 behind, in devices and printers.

Delete the HP 450 printer.

Open HP450 (copy 1) printer properties and change the name to HP 450

Click ports and check or change the port to USB 001 or 002 Virtual Printer Port, click Apply and Exit.

The printer should now work properly.
