Default Windows 10 and Laser printer

Windows 10 version 1903 OS build 18362.239.
Printer Okidata c5150n, driver C51200GDEA.exe
Couple days ago I sent a file to the printer but nothing happened, I
last used it a couple weeks ago and it was fine then.
Did a bunch of things such as delete and reinstall driver, tried it in
USB and network modes, nothing, no messages or warnings but found it had
disappeared from the add printers page, tried to add printer but no
luck, tried new Lan and USB cables, zilch, Ran up a Linux Mint live USB
stick and the printer works fine, Same for MX Linux.
So the printer is OK and it has to be our friendly Windows again with
their lovely update gifts , I suspect another crappy update so even
tried a new fresh install, Nope still no printer, So who has an idea on
how to proceed now?
thanks for all help and ideas.
