Envy 5440 running on a Dell with 24GB ram and i7 processor running Windows version10.0.19041
This printer worked fine until a week ago. The print job spools as expected and printer displays <printing> but the job never completes. Every minute or so, a blank sheet is advanced but only the first 1 or 2 lines of print appear on the first page. Windows 10 Control Panel, indicates a <working printer> so I'm assuming the driver is present and operational. Word, shows the print job being processed.
The printer works fine on a Macbook Pro; this Windows bug is getting VERY frustrating. The timeline to a trash can is approaching. I've uninstalled / reinstalled software several times. A system restore/recovery has been completed but does not solve the issue. A new user was created to no avail. HP Print/Scan Doctor (+ virtual agents) shows no solution, nor does any MS troubleshooter. The cartridges were replaced a few weeks ago and paper is in the printer. (~15 sheets) USB cable has been replaced.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Lesson learned .... don't blame software or firmware when a simple hardware issue triggers a frustrating problem. All works well when connected to a different set of physical ports. I'll have to remove the system board and find a faulty solder joint. (someday).

Thanks ....I did use use the app <HP Print and Scan Doctor> several times and was unable to resolve the problem. ... BUT yesterday, when I accidentally touched the USB cable with my foot, a print job completed. Even though the cable has been changed, I'm investigating if one bank of USB connectors soldered to the system board are 'flakey'. (could be a simple solder connection on the motherboard) When I plugged into the front bank, I had success. I'll finish that today and repost.
