Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Setting up wireless from Dell XPS desktop to HP Envy 7645.  Everything during set up is fine, but it won't print.  Tried a test page and it says it's in queue, and the printer is idle, it goes out of the queue but nothing prints.  Have removed and added several times.  Not a geek, I need some help.  Thanks.

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor

 Delete job files and restart
