A printer driver unavailable error will stop you from printing even if you change printer ink cartridges. It also prevents you from using other similar functions like scan and copy, altogether.

Go to Start and type “update”.
Select Check for updates.
If there are updates available, Windows will install them automatically.
After Windows has completed updating, restart your PC.
Now, try to print something from your PC and check if the problem has been fixed.
