Hello!

 

I cannot print my e-mails from outlook.live. Every time I push the "print" button, a window appears so that I save in pdf. I I save the file in pdf and re-open it in order to print it, the same window appears to let me save it again in pdf; and so on and so forth.

 

I couls really appreciate your help!!

Thanks a lot!!

Andreea

PS: I also asked the question on outlook support because I cannot figure out by myself who is the right community to ask

Welcome to the HP User Community.

 

If the printer software is already installed,

Make sure the printer is selected and that the printer is marked as the "Default Printer".

What else?

 

You need the Full Driver printer software to print from within Word and other Office software.

 

If you have  not done so,

If you do not find the printer software in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features

(then)

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software
