The "Printer Driver Is Not Valid" error message appears when the printer driver used by the operating system is either corrupt or not compatible with the device. This error message can occur on any printer, whether it's a local printer or a network-based one.
To fix the issue, you'll need to verify the printer driver is up-to-date and compatible with the printer and computer. Here are some steps to try:
1. Uninstall the Printer Driver and Reinstall it
The first step to take is to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it. This will ensure the driver is up-to-date and compatible with the printer and computer. To uninstall the driver, go to Start > Settings > Devices and locate the printer. Right-click on the printer, and then select Uninstall. After uninstalling the driver, go to the printer manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver for your printer model. Once downloaded, install the driver and restart your computer.
2. Update Windows
Another possible cause of the “Printer Driver Is Not Valid” error message is an outdated version of Windows. To update Windows, open the Settings app and go to Update & Security > Windows Update. Click on “Check for Updates” and follow the on-screen instructions to install the available updates.
3. Disable and Re-Enable the Printer
Disabling and re-enabling the printer can also help fix this issue. To do this, go to Start > Settings > Devices. Locate the printer, right-click on it, and select Disable. Once disabled, right-click on the printer again, and select Enable.
4. Install the Printer Manually
If the above steps don’t work, try installing the printer manually. To do this, go to Start > Settings > Devices and select Add a Printer or Scanner. Select The Printer that I want isn’t listed and then select Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the printer.
If these steps don’t work, you may need to contact your printer manufacturer for further assistance.
