    I mean your computer is obviously seeing the arduino so it's not faulting on that side. Something is faulty on your computer. Do you have a different one you can try?

    You weren't saying it couldn't find the printer before. You said it was saying "access denied"

    Can you post a more in depth description of your entire process of using your wifes laptop. The vagueness is not helping me help you. I need to know every step you did and what you saw. If you saw it in the device manager, etc.

    Communication issues are the hardest to troubleshoot but they almost always resolve in some inexplicable manner.
