Hello,
For some reason when I try to print from Microsoft Word or anywhere else, I get a message that says "No printers are installed. To install a printer go to settings on the start menu and click Add Printer..." I've done this a million times before, but now there is no "Add Printer" Button or icon to right-click. It is just not there. What do you think might be the problem?
 
Mordacia,

Are you accessing the Printers folder?

It's under Start|Settings|Printers...Once in the Printers folder, you should have an icon to Add Printer.

If the icon is not there, you may have a GPO in place that does not allow you to add a printer.

Who are you logged in as?

Just a thought,

Patty[ponytails2]
