It's always the same thing. It says the driver is up to date, and the troubleshooter can never fix the problem with the Unspecified Device.
USB Printing Support Driver
I've been trying to fix this for our Epilog Zing laser engraver for over a week. I've searched the internet for this error, and have tried everything it said to do. I deleted the laser, and the software. Downloaded the firmware, software, and driver again
and installed it again. Every time in devices and printer it says it has a driver problem. Troubleshoot, and it comes back to USB Printing Support Driver. Says to reboot to fix, never fixes. In device manger, there's the yellow triangle with the black exclamation
point next to USB Printing Support. Also, Now instead of having Epilog Zing, there's also: Epilog Zing Copy 1, Epilog Zing Copy 2, Epilog Zing Copy 3. When I try to update the driver it says I have the most recent one already installed. Since I have tried
just about everything, I don't know what else to do.

However, this issues might be with the incompatible printer drivers. Try with the below mentioned steps and check if it helps:
Step 1:

- In the search box on the taskbar, type Print Management, then select the search result of the same name.
- Select All Printers, find your printer in the list, press and hold (or right-click it), and then select Delete.
- Restart your PC.
- Reconnect your printer's cable to your PC and try installing the software and driver again.

2018-10-24T12:09:53+00:00 No it didn't help. I have removed the device and reinstalled it a bunch with no luck. It pops up as an unspecified device in Devices and Printers and still has the USB Printing Support driver problem. I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't know why sometimes turning the engraver on and off a bunch until it works, actually works. I shouldn't have to do that. This is costing us money and is a lot of problems.

2018-10-25T19:32:39+00:00 Usually I get it to work by deleting the printer, and installing it again. I have to do this everyday when I turn it on. Surely there's a way to fix this. This is an Alienware Area-51 R2 running Windows 10 64 bit. We don't have another computer to connect it to. I'm not sure which driver from Alienware I should try to update to fix this.
