Window 10 Detect Scanner but not the printer

[kcharng]

I am having a problem with inkjet printer model 5810.

My computer is window 10 version 1703 Intel Core i7 6700k. The problem started when I resetted my windows and reinstall everything.

Plugging in the USB cables from the printer, window begins to detect the scanner. However it couldn't detect the printer.

I tried downloading the latest version of the printer driver from HP sites, but still could not detect the printer. 

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Found what might be causing the problem.

"The printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 drivers"

When I download the dirver from HP site I made sure that it was fore window 10 64bit. I tried update the driver and reinstall the driver as well as editing the group policy under "Admin tools-printer-Disallow installation from printers using kernel mode drivers change to disabled"

Right now I am up for any suggestion. 

thank you.

Just want to leave this here for those who have the same problem.

Solution:

I ended up reinstall my window 10 again and uses the windindow 10 defalt driver. Didn't download the HP one. 

Now both scanner and printer are working fine.

What I tried but DID NOT work:

Regedit - to remove all HP driver traces. 

Edit Group Policy - Becuase of some obscure printer driver problems.

Download multiple version of HP GT5810 Drivers - Uninstall and reinstall multiple version didn't work.

Boot window in safe mode - to remove and reinstall HP drivers. 

Carried my old Epsion 210 printer to try - which works fine. 

So, it itches me to have to reinstall windows again just for a printer problems. So for those that have the same problem out there and finds a better solution please leave it here and let other know.

the problem is back same as above. This so far is the most frustrating printer problem I have encountered. 

If any one have any idea please let me know..

I am out of ideas. Download HP Print and Scan Doctor does nothing.

Trying to manual install printer does not help.  I couldn't find any help on this forum with similar problems. 

I am exchanging the printer back under warranty tomorrow. This will be my last HP printer in awhile.

Finally found a solution to my problem. 

After two days trying to solve the simple problem of installing a printer on a new installed Window 10. I have found a solution to my problem.

Exchange the said problematic printer for other brand. 

I really liked the printer when it worked. IMO HP GT5810 is a great product, but your software is so problematic it is not worth it. 

It will be awhile before I am brave enough to try agian.
