Dell Precision

After Windows update to os version 1909 I can no longer print. I can see the printer and get diagnosis info. I can use the Toolbox to print a 'Print Quality Diagnostics Page'. However, from every application when I print I get a message 'Error - Printing' with no other information. I have tried uninstalling and removing all old drivers and reinstalling, but it always results in a 'Error - Printing' message in the queue. I have tried using the HPPSdr.exe software, but it cannot give any reason for the problem. I have an older Dell Precision which works fine on the same home network.

@JC1956
Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Are you able to copy from this printer?

While you respond to that, let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

Root level uninstall and reinstallation: 

  • Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP ENVY Photo 6200 All-in-One Printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
  • Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
  • Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
  • Again, go to run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.

Reinstall basic printer drivers: https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/closure/hp-envy-photo-6200-all-in-one-printer-serie...

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

I have done everything you mentioned before sending the original post as I researched this earlier. As said I can use the maintenance app to communicate with printer and even print a test page. However, for normal printing the only outcome is a 'error printing' message with no further explanation of what the error is. Seems a bit of under development that the software cannot even give a reason for the error.
