(The installation of the printer driver stops after connecting the printer.)

Description:

Please check the following:

  • Did you turn on the printer after it was connected to the computer?
    If you don't turn it on, the computer does not recognize that the printer was connected.

  • Is the printer connected through a USB Hub? Depending on the model of the USB Hub, the printer may not be correctly detected. Connect it directly to the USB port on the computer.

If you still get the same problem, please use the uninstall tool. It deletes the registry information and all files related to the printer driver.



  1. Download the tool : Printer driver information cleanup tool
  2. Quit all applications.
  3. Double click the downloaded file and extract it.
  4. Double click "ptsweep.exe" to start up the tool.

  7. Click OK button and restart the computer.
