Unable to update printer drivers on Windows update website

Good Day

When i go to the Windows update website then i click on custom instead of
express, then under options i click hardware and it shows 2 HP(1018 and 1020)
printer drivers that i can update, it says: Windows Update recommends
installing this update because the device on your computer to which this
driver applies appears to not be working properly.

So then i click on reveiw and install updates and then after that is done i
restart and then if i go back to to Windows update site it still shows the 2
printers there.

i was wandering if there is another way to get the drivers updated as
everynow and again the printer spooler crashes and im hoping this update will
sort it out.

Thanks very much for any help suggested.

Get your printer drivers direct from HP - Hardware updates via Windows
Update have a history of doing funny things....

Good day,

Only update the drivers if your hardware is not working well.

If it ain't broke: do not try to" FIX" it.

Best regards,
Michel Denie
