HP Envy 5546
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I have a HP Envy 5546 Inkjet printer.

 

I am unable to print word documents, pdf's etc wirelessly from my laptop.

 

When I open HP Support Assistant the printer is recognised and online and the laptop is clearly communicating with it.   I can print status report wirelessly.

 

When I try to print I get message to say printer is in an error state.

 

Please help - it would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Scott

Hi Scotty, 

 

Can you tell us exactly what the error says? Or does it just say 'error state'? 

 

Meanwhile, HP developed a helpful step-by-step guide for troubleshooting that I would highly recommend: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-envy-5540-all-in-one-printer-series/5447939/model/7770153/do...

 

Thanks,
