Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
The most common underlying cause of not having any ability to print files of different types is a lack of controlling print software.
HP Smart for Windows prints both PDF and Image files - it cannot interact with Office or Word documents.
If you have not done so, your printer needs the "full driver" printer software installed on the computer.
Full Feature Software
HP ENVY 5000 All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories
- Download-and-Save the printer software (Full Feature Software / HP Smart / Easy Start)
- Navigate to the folder in which you saved the software installation package (likely Downloads)
- Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
- Reminder: If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver
- After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in
