I noticed I had this problem about 2 days before I produced this video. When I tried to print something, I got this notice on my computer which stated "Requires Attention". It didn't happen on my other computer with Windows 10 on it, it just happened on this computer. I never encountered this problem before, so I am assuming this is a Windows 10 problem. Windows 10 always tries to update drivers for various components on your computer, so it added a bad driver for my printer.

I did search on the internet for solutions, and I found a vague suggestion about re-installing the printer driver. I went to HP's site, and downloaded a driver for this printer, and ran the problem. Restarted the computer, and it didn't work. The next thing I tried was to install the printer manually, and this worked. The HP P2035n is an old printer, so Windows 10 has the driver for it. I have a LAN(Local Area Network) printer, so I had to get the IP address for my printer. I went to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers, and selected add a printer located on the top middle part of the screen. I added the IP address, and setup my printer. After you finish, there are two printer drivers for the same printer, so you have to get rid of the old one.
