HP OfficeJet 5230
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Why can't I print out normal A4 paper on my ten months old HP OfficeJet 5230? The printer has a stable internet connection when I try to print out paper and I have enough ink. I recently bought a new computer, so do I need to somehow connect the printer to my new PC?

Hi @Zev1X ,

Yes, you need to install your OfficeJet on your new PC. Please download and install this software:

HPEasyStart_10_5_4216_12.exe (6.5 MB)

 

After the setup is completed, you should be able to print out a Word document.

If you have any questions, please let me know! 🙂

 

Best,

Nils_K

I installed the software but I still can't print out any PDF document, and I can't use Word to print out this particular document. I managed to print out some PDF documents a few days ago, but now they are just stuck in a queue. It's just so irritating and time consuming.
