When I try to print, the only option I am given is to fax.

@Tom329 

You've given us no details to work with.

 

Please provide the following:

1) OS version you are running

2) Printer model

3) Whether you are using software installed from HP or built-in software from Microsoft

 

We can proceed when you provide the information.
Thanks

Thank you for responding to my post.  Here is the info you need:

OS is Windows 10 Pro

Printer is HP Office Jet 5740

Software is HP

Laptop is Pavilion 17 Notebook PC

When I try to print a document, I am not given a print option, instead options to fax, send to OneNote, etc.  The connection seems to be lost between the laptop and my printer.

@WAWood  got it pried out of you!  Here is how to determine what is happening.

Is this supposed to be wireless? If so, did you ever install the printer software for a wireless connection.

Now you guys can work it out, OK?

Thanks! I followed your advice and it looked like it might work-the document ended up in the queqe and then disappeared after a few seconds. It did not print.

I then tried the following: uninstalled the printer and then reinstalled.  The same thing happened.
