Hello coupons15, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are running into issues printing with your printer on Windows 8.1. I would like to try and assist you today, but first need a little clarification:
-What happens when you print?
-Are there any error messages that display?
-Does this occur when printing from all programs, such as Notepad?
-Where did you get the HP software from? Is it a download or from the disc?
Please let me know when you were able to gather this information. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
