Hi, The windows error message , that it is unknown device would prompt you for general fixes, without knowing that the device is at fault electronically, for eg, my printer memory contained in the board chip failed leading to this behaviour. It was explained to me by a tech guy.
                          So, either replacement of the boardchip with memory or replacement of printer is the only way out.
                          I opted for the second, as my printer is older and would no longer work that much efficiently.
                                  I want recommendation of inkjet printers having colour and black with refill possibilities. The tech guy also tried the same step.
                                  I even went one step further by going to event viewer , application and service logs, microsoft, windows, print services, and enabled the operational log. When i issue the command print, it just stores in spool as print job, nothing further .... Failure of hardware device part. This log creation is a new thing i tried. it gives you operational log for all the device and services in windows.
                                 You have to enable each or the logs for which you want , by going there and right clicking and select enable. These logs are disabled by default.
                                    Microsoft could not be showing hardware failure of internal failure , as devices are so much.

So have you just bought a new printer as the solution ?

jraju:
I have asked for your recommendation of the inkjet and not thermal inkjet printer, where normal refill is possible, Pl see my earlier post , just before this post

Boggin:
The only inkjet printer I have experience of is my All in One Epson Stylus SX425W which I bought in 2010 and is no longer on sale.

I think it was probably end of life when I bought it as during its install, it took you online for a patch to make it Win 7 compatible - but it is a good printer.

A Google for recommended inkjet printers will get you a number of links and then after reading their reviews, go to Amazon and look for the item(s) on there where you can read the Customers reviews.

I use generic inks in my printer which I get from www.stinkyink.com but I think they only supply in the UK.

A Google from your locale for generic printer inks should produce a list of similar companies.
