USB Printer Controller and Windows 10

Model: TL-WDR3600

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version:

My router is actually TL-WDR4300 but that isn't one of the listed models.

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Pro. With Windows 10, in order to print via the USB connection of the router, I have to run USB Printer Controller every time I start the computer, otherwise it reports the printer not found.

This was not the case in Windows 7, so with Windows 7 it presumably started a service or something similar when the computer booted up, which would make the printer available.

Is there a way I can get the same to happen in Windows 10, so I don't have to keep starting USB Printer Controller?

@simonc8

Hello, is it possible to show us some screenshots of the issue you reported on the Windows 10 Pro? Is there no software or driver running when you start the Windows 10 Pro? You may check the background settings on the computer and let it auto-start when the computer is running.
