My printer does not respond when asked t print, if I hit copy/start black ink it prints an old doc

[Samb_40]

I recently updated aka checked to see new updates for my computer and my printer.

HP Firmware 15.52.0.0 was installed that day. I can only print a document that was printed the day before.

Since then my 4630 All in One printer does not respond when I hit 'print'.

If I check the printer queue I will see the document I want, but never see this old document

I have wasted over 100 pieces of paper and so much ink I have to replace the cartridge.

My daily printing needs are less than 5 pages a day,  so this has gotten very expensive very fast.

Occasionally the printer will print the actual document I am asking it to print.

Please help!
