If you cannot use a Samsung printer after Windows 10 Version 1803 Update, there is no need to worry: in this article, you will find a list of proven tips on how to fix Samsung printers problems on Windows 10. So, it is time to troubleshoot printer issues after Windows 10 April Update:
Make sure it is not a hardware problem
First and foremost, check if your printer works when connected to another computer. There is always a chance of a hardware issue, so save yourself a lot of time and effort by ruling it out in the very beginning.
Check if your Samsung printer is detected
The chances are your Windows 10 cannot actually ‘see’ the printer in question, so you should help it with that:
- Open your Start menu and proceed to Settings.
- Click on Devices and select Printers & Scanners.
- Check if you can see your printer in the list of available devices.
- If not, click on Add a printer or scanner.
- Wait until your OS locates the desirable printer.
- If it fails to do that, select ‘The printer that I want isn’t listed’.
- Then select ‘My printer is a little older. Help me find it.’
- Windows will search for your device again.
We hope your printer is up and running now.
Disable your antivirus
Many users have reported that their antivirus tools block Samsung printers after Windows 10 Version 1803 Update. It is a good idea to check if that is your case. As such, temporarily disable your security solution and see if this has resolved your issue. If it has, configure the software to consider your printer a safe device or switch to another tool to protect your computer. For instance, Auslogics Anti-Malware is designed to keep malware out without creating hardware or software conflicts.
Run special troubleshooters
Luckily, your Windows 10 has a whole arsenal of troubleshooters aimed at tackling multiple issues that may crop up on your PC. There are two tools that you might find particularly helpful in your case:
- Press the Windows logo + I keyboard shortcut.
- Once the Settings app is up, click Update & Security.
- Navigate to Troubleshoot.
There you will find two troubleshooters that you should run one after another: the printer troubleshooter and the one for hardware and devices. We hope they will get your Samsung printer back on track.
Update your printer drivers
The point is, they may be too old to work well. You can update them manually: for this, you need to know the exact model of your device and what drivers it needs to function properly. Then you should go to the manufacturer’s website and search for the necessary software yourself. Please keep in mind that there is no room for error: installing the wrong driver can cause your system to malfunction.
You might as well simplify the process by using Device Manager. Here are the instructions for this:
- Right-click on the Windows logo icon on the taskbar.
- Select Device Manager from the menu.
- Locate your problematic Samsung printer.
- Right-click on it and select the Update driver option.
- Make Device Manager search for the driver you need online.
That said, the easiest way to resolve your driver issues is, by far, using dedicated software. For example, these days it is possible to update all your drivers in just one click with Auslogics Driver Updater. Thanks to this tool, you won’t have to worry about compatibility or safety issues.

Older peripheral devices such as printers may not function properly after upgrading to Windows 10. If you are using a Canon printer, then you should first take a look at Canon’s website to see the list of printers that will work with Windows 10.

If your printer model figures in the list but you are still facing printer problems, we have set out some possible solutions below.
Problem 1: Canon printer does not work in Windows 10
The first thing you need to do is to check if your Canon printer is switched on and connected to the PC in question. This may seem basic but it is surprisingly easy to overlook! If your printer is still not working, follow the steps set out below:
- Try running the printing Troubleshooter provided by Microsoft
- If that doesn’t solve the issue, it means that your printer may need new Printer Drivers. Check the printer manufacturer’s website for compatible Printer Drivers that will work with Windows 10.
Before installing the new Printer Drivers, you need to uninstall the printer by following the steps given below
- Open Start menu
- Click Devices and Printers
- Select your Canon Printer
- Select Remove Device from the top of the screen
- Reinstall the printer
- If Windows does not find a Driver, browse the printer manufacturer website for Drivers.
- Download the Driver and follow the instructions given by the printer manufacturer.
Alternatively you can get a Driver Update Tool to update the Drivers for you and keep them updated. To check for Driver Updates, follow the instructions on the Canon Drivers page.
Problem 2: No Windows 10 Printer Driver for your printer
Not all printer manufacturers are offering new Drivers that will work with Windows 10. In some cases, you might see the printer manufacturer has ended the support to the printer model you own. However, there is a way around this issue.
If your printer manufacturer is not offering Windows 10 compatible Printer Drivers, you can try Windows 8 Printer Drivers as they may work. In most cases, the Printer Driver is a .exe file. You need to uninstall the printer by starting from Step 4 above.

After you have removed the printer, you need to click on .exe Driver file and install the Printer Driver.
Problem 3: Printer is detected but you don’t have the Driver for the older printer
If your printer is detected after the upgrade, you need to follow the on-screen instructions to install the printer. When Windows 10 scans for connected devices, it will give you a few options if it does not find any Drivers. Here are the steps you need to follow
- Click the “The printer that I want isn’t listed” option. (Since we are adding a local printer, we will not discuss Network printer’s options that Windows gives you.)
- Select the option that says “My printer is a little older. Help me find it.”
- Click Next
- Windows 10 will now again search for the connected printer and hopefully install the printer using compatible Drivers in its database.
You can also install appropriate printer drivers on our Canon Drivers page using a Driver update tool.
