Title: Printer management can't be found
Post by: Novel8 on February 17, 2017, 05:05:43 PM

I did a complete search in the proper places that google recommended to look for this program and i could not find it, either in Win 10 or Win 7,as i have dual system. I went to control panel, admininstration tools and its not there. I went to printermanagement.msc and its not there. I recall in the 'good ole' days', it was so easy to come across, but not today.

Maybe that's because it's actually printmanagement.msc ?

You said you went to printermanagement.msc, so Salmon Trout suspected perhaps you were trying to start the wrong thing, and that is why it couldn't be found.

However the fact that it is missing from administrative tools I think means you have an edition of Windows that doesn't have it.

It is not present in the Home versions of Windows 10 or Windows 7. You need the Pro versions or a superset thereof, as far as I'm able to determine.
