ENVY 5055 won't print word documents

[Nathan29]

When ever I print a word document, it prints as blank.

Assuming "other" documents print...

This could be the result of a conflict - for example, Paper Type / Paper Size.

Make sure the Printer is selected in Word document > File > Print

Check the options in Printer Properties

What else?

I would guess that you certainly have the Full Feature Software installed.

Check to make sure the printer is the "default" printing device.

Verify / Adjust the “Default” printing device (Default Printer)

Settings > Devices > Printers and scanners

UNCHECK (clear box) Let Windows manage my default printer

Select (Left-Click) your printer from the list of printers > Manage > Set as Default

OR

Open Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click on printer > Set printer as Default

============================================================================

What else?

Export the Word document as a PDF file and print that.

Adobe Reader DC – Needed Whether You Use It or Not

If you have not done so,

Reinstall / Update your PDF Reader (Adobe Reader DC /Optional  Foxit Reader)

HINT:  Watch out for and UNCHECK unwanted extra software

NOTE:  Adobe Reader DC software should be installed even if you do not normally open / view / print PDF files directly from the Adobe Reader DC software.

Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader DC 

Click the print icon

Adjust the settings in the main menu.

Open Properties

Select a shortcut (if you have one made), else select a plain shortcut

Adjust Media type (kind of paper)

Adjust Paper Size (watch out - not all paper sizes can be printed in Booklet / duplex)

Adjust Source (Tray)

Click OK to save and leave the Properties menu

When ready, Click Print
