My HP Deskjet 4720 printer is connected to the network via Wi-Fi. One user with Windows 10 64bit can print and scan without any problem. Documents sent from cellphones are also printed.
Another user with Windows 10 64bit can scan but not print with this printer. Windows is 100% updated. HP SMART detects a printer and can scan but not print. All print jobs are stuck in the print queue with an error.
I downloaded and launched HP Print and Scan Doctor. It reached to print a test page, but it didn’t print, it hung in the queue with an error. HP Print and Scan Doctor rebooted the computer, started up again, reached to the Printer Queue item and issued an error: "Delay print job in the print queue. The tool could not solve the problem even after rebooting. Contact Support."
Print quality diagnostic page is printed.
Can anybody help me with this problem?

Hi Sandytechy20,
Thanks for the answer.
I uninstalled my printer from "Programs and Features" and removed from "Devices and Printers." When I tried to remove the printer driver, I received error messages:
Failed to remove the HP DJ 4720 Series driver. The specified printer driver is busy.
Failed to remove hpygid20.inf driver package. This driver package is used.
How can i fix this?
