It's disappeared from Windows. No trace of it anywhere. The printer still finds the computer, but the computer doesn't acknowledge. It's a network printer.
I could do a reinstall, but the printer won't trigger that because it's already installed, plus it still shows up on my Mac fine so I guess I can just print from there.
Why would Windows do this, it seems to have a mild case of amnesia recently with settings just disappearing, print spool service is running, but the computer is completely blind to it (even in the settings app it's not there)?
EDIT: As an aside, should I get Windows 10? It's free in my situation so I was thinking I will, but a lot of what it brings (that I have seen) to the table I already use because they're on OSX or I'm never going to use because I don't have an Xbox One and never will. Plus I think the flat UI design is kind of ugly. But that Cortana though
I also don't think it will work all that well given my experience of MS products recently (Xbox 360 and 8.1)
