The problem caused by the previous Windows update can now be corrected with a fresh tool.
Earlier this month, we reported that a Windows update had turned printers into HP LaserJets, causing some customer frustration. Microsoft just released one Printer Metadata Troubleshooter Tool called a tool, which helps to eliminate the problem completely, as it restores the state that existed before the faulty update within the system.
Of course, it does this by checking the specific hardware data, so it detects the real printer and downloads the appropriate software for it, then deletes the HP Smart application if it finds inappropriate metadata. All this is very useful because after the recovery procedure, the system will not try to get the HP program again.
About using the Microsoft Printer Metadata Troubleshooter Tool website below offers a detailed description.
