One of my links was from Microsoft. They are aware of this setting affecting printers .. just saying.
IT nerds run into every weird thing you can imagine.

Bob mentioning the error was a huge help (clue) in what was happening.
Anyway, worth a shot.

From MS -
"You might receive this message when you connect a device and it tries to connect to the Internet using a metered connection to check for new device software. To avoid unexpected data charges, your PC won't allow the device to automatically check for new software when you use a metered connection.

To always download device software on a metered connection:

Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, select Settings > Change PC settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, choose Settings, and then select Change PC settings.)
Select PC and devices.
Select Devices, then make sure Download over metered connections is set to On.

Once you've finished downloading your devices updates, you can turn this setting off to avoid unexpected charges when you're on a metered network."

Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
