Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Connecting the USB cable directly between the printer and the PC and installing HP Full-featured drivers may resolve this issue. Let us try these steps: 

 

Step 1: Prepare for the printer setup

Confirm the following requirements and items before you begin:

  • The printer is turned on and in a ready state.

  • Obtain a USB cable less than 3 m (9 ft 10 in) in length.

  • There is an available USB port on your computer: If you connect through a USB hub or docking station, the printer might not receive enough power to properly operate.

  1. Disconnect the printer USB cable from the computer. Do not reconnect the cable until prompted during the driver installation step.

  2. Search Windows for 'devices', and then click the Devices and Printers control panel setting in the results.

  3. Right-click the icon for your printer model, and then click Remove device. If multiple icons exist for the printer, remove them all.

    Remove the printer from Devices and Printers

  4. Close the Devices and Printers window, and then continue to the next step.

Step 2: Install the printer on your PC

  1. Click here to download the HP Full-featured driver.
  2. Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Connect the USB cable when prompted by the software.
  4. Try to print.

Let me know how this goes.
