[R6300 v2] readyshare usb printer no longer working after latest Windows 10 updates
It seems like after a recent round of Windows 10 updates a week or two ago that the Netgear USB Control Center is no longer working so I can't connect and print to the USB printer (HP LaserJet P1005)...
#2 Seemed to fix it, kind of. I power cycled the printer itself and that seems to have reinitialized the USB and it is now detected again. I didn't have to unplug/replug, but guessing it amounted to pretty much the same thing. Thanks!
Hi deusxanime,
1. What is the firmware version of the router?
2. Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the printer from the USB port?
3. To ensure that the USB port works, please try connecting a USB flash drive and check if it is detected (USB LED lights up and device is detected under ReadySHARE).
Regards,
Dexter
