my new printer, 8139e all-in-one, is connected to WiFi, but will not connect to my computer (Windows 10). I have tried using the router, unplugging the printer, restarting the computer and using HP Smart. The printer is recognized under Bluetooth, but will not print.
The error messages that popped up:
Operation could not be completed: error 0x80043c02
Error code 0x80070483
I've been trying as many was as possible, but to no avail. It's been two weeks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
