8710 stopped printing from laptops. Worked great at first. Prints from PC and iphones.

8710 worked great on all devices for first few weeks.  Now the printer won't print from our laptops.  We can print from the PC and from our iphones.

@Rlssr,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

Let's try these steps here:

If the issue persists, Let's uninstall the printer from the root level and then reinstall it.

• Press “Windows key” + “r” to get the “Run” window.
• Type "services.msc" to get Services – Go to “Print spooler” – Right-click and “Stop” the service.
• Now again open "Run" - Type “spool” and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.
• Go to services again - Start the print spooler.
• Now check for issue resolution.
• If the issue persists, also try clean installing the printer drivers. Here are the steps:
• First, unplug the USB cable from the printer if present.
• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP OfficeJet printer entries and uninstall them.
• Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
• Press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" (There is a space between .exe & /) and press enter.
• Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
• Again, go to the Run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
• Restart your computer.
• Please click here  to download and install the full feature software for this printer. 
• Connect the USB cable if prompted and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

What I did was uninstall and then reinstall the printer.  I then used the install disc in each laptop.  Simple and now everything is working fine.

BTW I installed the printer dr on two computers and it wouldn't work because it said the printer wasn't connected.  Wasted time with the print dr.  This, even though it was now working.  Technology, you gotta love it.

Thank you for respoinding even though I found a simpler solution.
