Here we go again I allowed some updates and now I have no printer .... it is gone System Settings says there is no printer installed .... I personally don't think my video driver could cause this but I'm going to go to a lower version of NVIDIA .... from 515 back to 470 .....
It was working back on Zorin 16 Pro and then 16.2 came along .... unfortunately I didn't try to print when 16.2 was installed a day or two ago ...... gonna try the video driver first ....
I give up .... I believe I'm loosing it ..... with out doing anything I restarted the laptop and the printer icon is back and it worked just fine even with my VPN turned on ..... I think I need a drink .... and I don't drink .....
Yup ..... sometimes the most simplest things correct the problem ..... must be why I over look them while searching for the more complex ways to solve an issue ....
