    1. Update driver's from manufactures websites
    then reboot to see if all driver's are found.
    2. Go into Device Manager and see if there are any yellow yield signs showing and then post back to us.

    You may have a lot of printing in stand by.
    Go into Control panel/Device and Printers/make sure you have selected correct printer as default, double click on your printer and look at 3 options.
    See what's printing,customize printer, and adjust print options.
    Then get back to us.
