Printer does not print following reinstalling software after it stopped scanning. No error messages.

[KatePP]

Got a new HP ENVY 5020 in February. It just stopped scanning today. So followed through all the instructions to uninstall and reinstall and it seems to scan. Since doing this I can't print. I've been through all instructions and checked connection but it sends the document to the print queue but that's as far as it gets. There are no error messages. In the control panel it is the default printer but it doesn't show the printer icon as if it hasn't downloaded correctly. I really don't know what to do next as all the instructions seem to send me round in circles. Any help appreciated.
