I bought a new HP printer recently. I successfully connected the printer to my computer and installed the driver software. When I attempted to print a page of text from MS Office, the printer shows an error saying “The active directory domain service is currently unavailable”. Kindly help me in solving it.

How to solve “The active directory domain service is currently unavailable” error?

The printer requires being added into the system as an Administrator. For this, you need to go to the Control Panel and select Printers. Under that right-click on Add Printer and select the Run as Administrator option which will enable you to add the printer as an Administrator. Now find your printer and add it to the list of printers. This should be able to help you with the error.
