Why does every printer driver update seem to break something that was working fine?

I mean, you'd think they'd test these things before sending them out, idk.

Tell me about it, my printer at home acts like a moody teenager after every single update. It feels like they push these things out without actually checking them on normal people's setups. You spend an hour getting everything working again only for the next patch to mess it all up. Honestly, it's enough to make you miss the days of just plugging a cable in. The whole point of an update should be to make things better, not create a new chore.

Right? I had to completely reset my router last week because my printer just stopped seeing the Wi-Fi after an update. I mean, it was working fine on Monday. Then there's the driver mess, where it installs the wrong one and you have to go digging on their website for the old version. It feels like a part-time job just to print a shipping label.

Ever wonder if they even test these updates on older printers, @karen_sanchez10?
