Windows 10 gets out-of-cycle update to fix printing issues

Posted on Wednesday, June 17 2020 @ 10:57 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Last week, Microsoft rolled out its monthly dose of Patch Tuesday updates. Unfortunately a bug rendered certain printers (including software printers like PDF creation tools) unable to print. The software giant has now issued an out-of-band update that resolves the printing issues.

Unfortunately, this update needs to be installed manually. Users of Windows 10 version 1909 and Windows 10 version 1903 can get it here, Windows 10 version 1809 users need this update and there's also a separate update for Windows 10 version 1803 over here.

An out-of-band optional update is now available for the following versions of Windows 10 on the Microsoft Update Catalog to address a known issue in which certain printers may be unable to print after installing updates released June 9, 2020.
