After updating my computer with Windows I lost access to my HP Offie Jet Pro 9015 printer. Scanner works but not the printer.

I received help from someone at Microsoft who found I also needed to first update my computer for updates. After this was done I no longer had access to my printer and it actually disappeared from my list of printer alternatives.
