Okay, so I have tried everything that is available currently even close to this particular issue; even a great video posted by this forum that I really thought was going to solve the problem but still did not.
There are currently no printers listed and there is in fact no printer option in the Device Manager settings either. Could this be a virus? It occurred just after a Windows Update and upon the installation of Webroot security software from Best Buy. My Windows Restore is not functioning either.
Here is a list of what I have utilized up to this point:

I am currently running this troubleshooting technique and hopefully it will negate any response from this post: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/.../hh824869.aspx
Please see the attached screenshots as well indicating some of the issues I have run into while following instructions in the above links.
If ANYONE has a solution to this problem please let me know.
