You did not mention your printer or laptop model. 

I assume you installed the full feature driver.   Since it is an HP printer,  then the driver should be PCL. Usually "PCL 6"

Make sure the PCL6 printer is set for default.  Do not let Windows decide which printer driver to use.

If you have really large spread sheets or complicated graphics in word possibly there is not enough memory to convert to PDF.  

 

Have you checked for an updated driver?   https://support.hp.com/us-en/computer
