Thanks again for your offer to help.  Unfortunately, this solution didn't work either; however, we discovered in the interim that it was a problem with a recent update my husband's company's Bitdefender CyberSecurity Software.  They made some tweeks with that and sudden everyone's HP Printers were working again. 

 

Thanks again for your help,
