Envy 4520 won't print from my computer

[Sliloh]

I haven't used my printer for months but today I scanned a recipe from the Envy and it saved to my computer fine. It will not print though, in fact nothing will print from my computer, using image viewers, acrobat or hpsmart. I went through the virtual assistant thing and finally removed the printer, rebooted, reinstalled a fresh download from hp and still it won't print. It did print a test page from hp site on FireFox, but it won't from the anything on my computer (or anything else on the web that I can see). Also, I have hpsmart on my phone and it will print from the web and from files on my phone. That's fairly inconvenient for me. Don't know if a Windows 10 update mucked things up as I haven't tried to print for a very long time. I hope someone has a suggestion.

Thanks for the welcome. Okay I ran that print and scan dr before and it got stuck before it was done. Today it also got stuck but it made it to print a test page that failed to print and an internal test page that worked. So then I closed it and followed all your instructions, which was more than I tried in my last uninstall. So did all those things, reinstalled and still get an error notification "error printing on HP Envy 4520 series (network)".
