Last week, Microsoft rolled out a cumulative update as part of its Patch Tuesday update cycle for Windows 10. Unfortunately, this is another patch that's causing widespread issues. The software giant acknowledges that after the installation of this patch, certain printer are no longer able to print. This bug also affects software-based printers, like plug-ins to print documents to PDF.
After installing KB4557957, certain printers may be unable to print. Print spooler may error or close unexpectedly when attempting to print and no output will come from affected printer. You might also encounter issues with the apps you are attempting to print from. You might receive an error from the app or the app may close unexpectedly. Note This issue might also affect software-based printers, for example printing to PDF.
Microsoft is working on a fix. It's unknown when this will be available. For Windows 10 version 2004, the trouble-causing update is KB4557957. The version number is different for earlier versions of Windows 10.
