@Emil1947, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
I understand how frustrating it can be when your printer isn't working as expected. Let's get this sorted out together.
To start, please try these troubleshooting steps:
- Check Printer Connection– Ensure your printer is properly connected to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi. Try reconnecting the cables or restarting your router if it's a wireless printer.
- Restart Print Spooler Service–
- Press Win + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter.
- Scroll down to Print Spooler, right-click, and select Restart.
- Run Windows Troubleshooter–
- Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners.
- Select your printer and click Run the troubleshooter.
- Update/Reinstall Printer Drivers–
- Open Device Manager (Win + X > Device Manager).
- Expand Printers, right-click on your printer, and select Update driver.
- If the issue persists, uninstall the driver and reinstall it from the HP website.
To narrow this down further, could you answer a few quick questions?
- Which HP printer model are you using?
- Are you seeing any specific error messages or codes when trying to print?
- Is the issue happening with all documents or only certain files/applications?
- Have you recently made any updates to Windows or the printer firmware?
Let me know, and we’ll take the next steps from there! 😊
Take care, and have an amazing day!
