I want to pin 'Printers' to the Win 10 taskbar

Post by Peter Kinross »

I want to pin 'Printers' to the win 10 taskbar. Not 'Devices and printers', but 'Printers' as per the screen shot below.
Any idea anyone? I can't even find the location of 'Printers'. As far as I can see it is NOT in 'All Control Panel Items', nor 'Quick Access', nor in 'Settings'.
I get it by clicking on 'Settings' in my antiquated (by choice) Win 10 windows menu, see below
Settings selection

Apparently the Printers control panel still lurks somewhere, but there doesn't appear to be a way to start it in the 'native' interface. Everything I found starts Printers and Devices.
Best wishes,
Hans
