Office Jet 6700 will not print except test pages. I can run diagnostics and find nothing wrong

[chesterst1]

after running diagnostics the printer will print a test page. It refused to print from documents on the computer including pdfs. The document starts to be sent to printer but does not appear in the print q. Prior to downloading the latest updates I kept getting a message that there was a problem with the printer and the document would show up in the print Q, now it will not even show that it was sent to the printer and I get no error message.  I can print a test or diagnostic page from the printer itself or from the computer.

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
