Done! I used the Devices and Printers Metadata Authoring Wizard to make Windows think it's a wireless router and not a printer. One thing I have a question about is though while Windows now knows it is a wireless router, it still has the print queue. Why is this? Another thing is that it doesn't seem to detect that it is wirelessly connected. The first issue is more of an issue than the last one, but I would still like them both fixed. If it's not possible, then that's fine.
(I used your method to add my router into Devices and Printers by the way, will use it for other devices.)
Bumping for the new page.

The only Microsoft drivers are two different versions of XPS Document Writer and Remote Desktop Easy Printer. I do not want to try these as these are software devices drivers. Should I try a generic driver? (in the generic section)okayI'll try it, I will tell you if something happens or when it finishes.yeahI'll try, did it work for you? did you try this?:
