Hi @enovember,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be happy to help you! 

 

If your HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e only prints from the HP Smart app and not from other applications like Word, there may be issues with the printer driver, settings, or the print spooler. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

 

1. Check Printer Status

Ensure your printer is set as the default printer and is online.

Set as Default Printer:

  • Go to Settings> Devices> Printers & scanners.
  • Click on your HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e and select Manage.
  • Click on Set as default.

Check Printer Status:

  • Make sure the printer is online and not in an error state. If the status is "offline," right-click on the printer and select Use Printer Online.

2. Restart Print Spooler

Restarting the print spooler service can clear up any stuck print jobs.

  1. Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
  2. Type services.msc and press Enter.
  3. Scroll down and find Print Spooler.
  4. Right-click on Print Spooler and select Restart.

3. Clear Print Queue

Clear any stuck print jobs in the print queue.

  1. Open Control Panel and go to Devices and Printers.
  2. Right-click on your HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e and select See what's printing.
  3. In the print queue window, click Printer> Cancel All Documents.

4. Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers

Ensure your printer drivers are up-to-date or reinstall them.

Update Printer Drivers:

  • Go to Device Manager.
  • Expand Printers.
  • Right-click on your HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e and select Update driver.
  • Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.

Reinstall Printer Drivers:

  • Go to Settings> Devices> Printers & scanners.
  • Select your printer and click Remove device.
  • Download the latest drivers from the HP Support website.
  • Install the drivers and follow the on-screen instructions.

5. Check Application-Specific Settings

Ensure the correct printer is selected in the application you are printing from.

  1. In Word or other applications:
    • Go to File> Print.
    • Ensure your HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e is selected as the printer.
    • Check any specific print settings or preferences.
