**edited That worked!  I'd love to hear what prompted that approach, but I'll take the solution!!!  How do we mark PatMaraj's post as Accepted Solution, I don't readily see it.

 

Minor notes added b/c I blew right past the the magic "Let me pick from a list..." bullet the first couple times (was too excited to have a legit possibility for a solution...)

 

From PatMaraj's OP

 

  1. In Device Manager, open up Universal Serial Bus Controllers
  2. Find the 8100 Series device
  3. Right-Click -> Update Driver
    1. Browse my computer for driver software
    2. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
  4. Choose USB Composite Device

Printer was recognized immediately, wow.  Good luck all, hope the magic happens for you as well.
