Microsoft warns that after installing the most recent Windows 10 cumulative updates, users could end up struggling with certain printing devices, as some of them could be duplicated on the affected computers.
“Microsoft has received reports of issues affecting some printing devices following installation of this update. Symptoms observed may include duplicate copies of printers installed on a device (commonly with a similar name and the suffix "Copy1"), and applications which refer to the printer by a specific name cannot print. Normal printer usage might be interrupted, resulting in failure of printing operations,” Microsoft says.
The company recommends users to look in Settings and figure out which one is the printer that actually works and then delete the other profile. Furthermore, they should also update the printer drivers and therefore install the latest versions, as they are the less likely to end up hitting this problem after the latest cumulative updates.
