Okay. I've just spent the last 5 hours trying to get my new 2542 printer to print, and I'm really frustrated! Scanning works perfectly, so I know I'm connected to the printer. But, when I try to print anything, it shows up briefly in the print queue, and then goes away, and the printer does absolutely nothing. Nada. I know the printer works, because I can print the wireless network test results with no problem. And that shows that I am connected wirelessly with no problem. I can also copy a document with no problem. I have done everything the installation instructions said to do, 4 times! I did the Dr. thing, and at the end it said it didn't know what was wrong, and referred me to this blog site. (Pretty sad, HP! Especially after seeing how many other people have had variations of this same problem!) I've tried not just the wireless printing, but even the USB connection option doesn't work any better! I have a Dell Inspiron 560 and Windows 7 SP1. I've also tried several possible solutions based on other Q&A from this site, but none have helped. Okay, so this was only a $59 printer from Wal-Mart, but it really should at least work, shouldn't it? If anyone has any ideas for what I should try next, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Helllllp! Thanks!
