The stickie states that the Dell V313w printer is not supported for Windows 10. I would try the procedure I have listed below and see if the printer does work.
First run Delete Print Jobs to remove any stuck print job in the queue.
Disconnect the printer.
Hit the Windows key and the x keys at the same time, programs and features, your printer, uninstall.
Download the Vista 32-bit drivers for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 32-bit or the Vista 64-bit drivers for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 64-bit. Install the Vista drivers in the Vista Compatibility mode You'll get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at this time(powered on).
If the printer is wireless and already on your network, then choose network, additional computer.
Thanks for the reply, Rick. The printer compatibility was just one issue that has kept me from updating to Windows 10. It looks like their may be a way around it, but I won't know until I update ;-(
