Do you remember making any changes to system?

This error 41 is caused by a hardware device that's been removed after the driver was loaded or by an issue with the device driver itself.

Either you can follow method 1 or method 2.

Method 1:

I would suggest you to uninstall the drivers for the printer and again reinstall them manually form the manufacturer’s website.

1.      Reboot the machine and login as "Administrator".

2.      Go to the start menu and start typing MMC, you will see the Microsoft Management Console shortcut appear in the start menu; click on it.

3.      Go up to the file menu and select Add/Remove Snap-in.

4.      Then scroll down in the list and select the "Print Management" snap-in and then hit "Add".

5.      At this screen you are going to want to select "Add the Local Server", hit Finish and then hit ok. 

6.      Then you can scroll down to your computer name, select the driver tree and then right click on the driver you want to remove and select "Remove Driver Package".

7.      Make sure you reboot your machine before trying to add new or different print drivers.

Then again install the Printer Software and check whether that works.

Or

Method 2:

1.      Click on Start menu, type in devmgmt.msc to open the Device Manager.  

2.      The Device Manager will then display a list of installed devices in the right pane of the console. 

3.      Expand the category for Network Adapter. 

4.      Right-click the device and select Uninstall. 

5.      A dialog box will pop up asking you to confirm ‘Uninstall’. Click OK to proceed. 

Note: While you are uninstalling the network adapter make sure that you select the option to delete the driver software as well.

6.      Restart the computer and install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check what happens.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
