Hello. Printer in not able to print anything. I think it is after some Windows 10 update (but not sure). I downloaded the HP print and scan doctor 5.1.
It says, that printer is OK. I tried to print test page, but nothing happened. Then it says to print internal test page. Nothing happened again.
So.. I am here to find some help. 🙂 please.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I reviewed your post and understand that you are unable to print after a recent Windows update.
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I will need a few more details.
- When was the last time the computer was working fine?

Meanwhile, follow the below steps and check if it helps.
1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features
2.) Select your HP Printer
3.) Select Uninstall
4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers
5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'
6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom
10.) Select Ok
11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows
