Me and my boss share an office and we share a printer. The printer is physically plugged into his PC and it's shared as a network printer so that I can use it too. Then yesterday, for no reason, it suddenly told me on my PC that it needs to download a driver to use the printer.
So I tell it okay and then it says it can't connect to the printer. I see there are pending Windows updates on my PC, so I figure maybe that might be the issue. So I run and install the updates this morning and still have the same issue. I try uninstalling the printer from my PC and reconnecting. Still the same problem except that this time I can't reinstall the printer because I get the 'missing driver' message and it won't connect to the printer. I uninstalled it from my boss's PC and reinstalled it and that went fine but it still wouldn't let me connect to it from my PC because I get the 'missing driver' error.
