@0101xyl, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're experiencing an issue where your HP ENVY 5546 All-in-One Printer shows a "no paper" error when printing from your HP Pavilion laptop, even though it prints fine from your phone. Let's walk through some steps to resolve this:
Check Printer Connection
Since it prints from your phone, the printer is operational. However, ensure your laptop is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer:
- On your laptop, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi and confirm it's the same network your phone uses.
Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers
Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause communication issues:
- Go to the HP support page.
- Download and install the Full Feature Software and Drivers for your operating system.
- After installation, restart your laptop.
Clear the Print Queue
Sometimes the print queue gets stuck:
- Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
- Scroll to Print Spooler, right-click it, and select Stop.
- Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS and delete all files.
- Go back to services.msc, right-click Print Spooler, and select Start.
Check Paper Settings
Mismatch in paper size/type settings can trigger false "no paper" errors:
- On your laptop, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
- Right-click your printer > Printing Preferences.
- Ensure the paper size and type match what's loaded in the tray (e.g., A4, Plain Paper).
Try Printing a Test Page
- Right-click the printer in Devices and Printers > Printer Properties > Print Test Page.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
