HP 8740 do not print even after reboot/reset/reinstallation

[jbei]

The OfficeJet Pro 8740 suddenly started to malfunction yesterday. I can initiate a print job either wirelessly or over USB, but then the printer remains in the state of "printing" while not doing any print activity. The Jobs list shows "Print (<filename>)" with a circle spinning continuously. I tried rebooting both my laptop and printer, and the same situation remains. Then I tried power cycle the printer, reset the printer to factory default, also reinstalled the driver and ran HP Print Doctor. Nothing helped. Any hints please?

We'll have to perform a reset on the Printer for this. I have sent you a private message, for more details that cannot be shared in a public post.
