Cannot get HP 4652 to print from desktop

[pjoz98]

i have followed DVD to install HP 4652 and each time it says  "Check printer configurations"     I don't know what to do.  I have deleted and tried to reinstall about 7 times and keep getting the same result.

@pjoz98, Welcome to HP Support Community!

This looks like an issue with the drivers installed. Let us try to isolate and resolve the issue-

Restart the print spooler and try uninstalling the drivers

Press “Windows key” + “r” to get the “Run” window.

Type "services.msc" to get Services – Go to “Print spooler” – Right-click and “Stop” the service.

Now again open "Run" - Type “spool” and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.

Go to services again - Start the print spooler.

Now uninstall and reinstall the printer driver. Follow the steps below-

1) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features 

2) Select your HP Printer 

3) Select Uninstall 

4) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers 

5) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’ or ‘Remove Device’ 

6) Open up the run command with the “Windows key + R” key combo. 

7) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe”

😎 Click on the “Drivers” tab 

9) Look for the HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom 

10) Select Ok 

11) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows 

12) Close Devices and Printers.

Now, download and install the full-featured software from here.

If the issue persists, I would suggest you try the Windows built-in drivers. Follow the steps below:

•    Go to Control Panel - Devices and printers - Click on "Add printer" and follow the on-screen instructions.

•    When the page prompts for the drivers, select "Windows update". The driver list will be updated.

•    Click HP, Hewlett Packard, or Hewlett-Packard in the Manufacturer pane, and then click the name of your printer in the Printers pane.

@pjoz98

Sure.

Keep me posted 🙂

Tried it as you listed.  Still doesn't work.   Still get "check printer configurations."

[pjoz98]

My next step is getting close to where I throw out that printer.  But, it is only 1.5 yrs old.  Don't know what happened.

Tried several ideas but neither of them worked.  Still message "check printer configurations."   Even tried to hook up directly from desktop to printer with USB and nothing happens.

This further requires remote assistance.

I'd recommend you contact HP Support in your region for further course of action.

Hope this helps!
