The switch to home USB printer/scanner combinations also killed off the generic standalone scanners (especially the parallel port ones and the almost dead SCSI variety). -Original Message- From: Ed via cctalk Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2017 9:31 PM To: tin...@gmail.com ; cctalk@classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Windows 10 recent creator release may take your printer out.

Yes, I know this doesn't help.
Also, 95 to 98, 98 to 98SE, NT to XP, XP to 7, 7 to 10, etc.
Almost any OS change.
Not just MICROS~1:
My sister just called me; her current model Mac laptop upgraded itself,
and now she can't use her HP printer any more. "HP says 'talk to Apple';

Often complete removal of driver and reinstalling will work, but not
always.
Sometimes they force you to buy new hardware, without justification.
When the Win7 Lenovo that I use for Handbrake did an unwanted,
unauthorized ("NO means NO!") change to Win10 and would no longer do what
it was for, I was able to roll it back. ANYDVD is on a dedicated XP Vaio
without external connectivity (thumb drive sneaker-net).

This has happened to me, re-installing the driver fixed the problem. -Original Message- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Ed via cctalk Sent: July 3, 2017 1:47 PM To: cctalk@classiccmp.org Subject: Windows 10 recent creator release may take your printer out.
