Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I understand that your HP printer is not working correctly, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Are you able to make photocopies on the printer?
If yes, follow the steps below-
Restart the print spooler and try uninstalling the drivers:
- Press “Windows key” + “r” to get the “Run” window.
- Type "services.msc" to get Services – Go to “Print spooler” – Right-click and “Stop” the service.
- Now again open "Run" - Type “spool” and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.
- Go to services again - Start the print spooler.
Now uninstall and reinstall the printer driver. Follow the steps below-
- 1) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features
- 2) Select your HP Printer
- 3) Select Uninstall
- 4) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers
- 5) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’ or ‘Remove Device’
- 6) Open up the run command with the “Windows key + R” key combo.
- 7) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe”
- Click on the “Drivers” tab
- 9) Look for the HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom
- 10) Select Ok
- 11) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows
- 12) Close Devices and Printers.
Now, download and install the full-featured software from here.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
