The last update I installed caused my printer to not take a command from the computer, so I had to uninstall it. Now what do I do? Do I dare reinstall it or even install future updates?

  Can you define what you mean by “a command”?
  
  What OS?
  
  What printer?
  
  What is the age/vintage of the driver?

  I don’t know the age of the driver.
  By “command”, I meant trying to print something from the computer (as opposed to just using the printer alone)
  Thanks, Susan

  There may be a new driver on that site.
  
  Also how is it installed? USB or wireless?

  I would plug it into a new usb connection and have it ‘refind’ the printer.
