I wish MS would not issue updates that break stuff which worked perfectly well before! (Not your fault, I know, but I just needed a rant.)

Please help me remove this IEEE-1284 driver, or at least stop it from loading every time. ‘General’ (with no options to do anything) and ‘Hardware’ (which only relates to the Brother printer driver and the MS ‘USB Printing Support’ driver (3.0) – ‘usbprint.sys’ in ‘System32’ folder.) The is no ‘update driver’ option available and ‘properties’ in ‘Devices and Printers’ only has two tabs, I do not want to roll back to pre-update Win10 as this will cause subsequent update problems – and it’s a rubbish, very temporary fix at best. I checked the box that says do not automatically download updates for drivers, but the ‘IEEE-1284 Controller (Unknown category)’ is already on my system and will not leave! Uninstalling or ‘Removing’ it just means it re-installs itself whenever I plug Unfortunately, whenever I try to load the new cable/drivers, the old IEEE-1284 drivers automatically install as soonĪs I plug the cable in, regardless of the other driver installation. I assume it’s the 1st September update as I got everything working again after the massive (and annoying) 1607 update.Īfter much searching I found that older IEEE-1284 cables often do not work with Win10 so I purchased a new one with Win10 drivers. Windows 10 update stopped my Parallel (IEEE-1284)-USB adapter cable from working. Windows 10 Update stopped IEEE-1284 (Parallel)-USB Adapter Cable Working The name of the driver type in the system is: Dot4Print, and the drive type GUID is. This method is more effective than any others, and 100% correct.There are many other information items that you can use to find the driver version information and the required driver files. According to these two ID values, the matching driver information can be accurately found. These two ID values are unique and will not be duplicated with other hardware.
