Printer not found

[davidwm1]

Hello all.

I’ve  come on to ask for support as the Samaritans is engaged.

I have a envy 4520 all-in-one printer. It’s been running perfectly well for a couple of years, no problems.

Yesterday I was unable to print from my Acer laptop. 
I’ve tried every fix suggested by PrintDoctor and it still will not print.

For information it will print from multiple other devices ie: iPad, iPhones etc.

I get a message as this photo

I’ve also tried to print from my wife’s laptop, both using Windows 10 but that doesn’t work either.

This driving me nuts (as Peter Kay would say)

Please, please help me if you can. I’m at my wits end with it.

Kind regards and a Happy New Year.

David
