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.
-
Disconnect the printer USB cable from the computer. Do not reconnect the cable until prompted during the driver installation step.
-
Search Windows for 'devices', and then click the Devices and Printers control panel setting in the results.
-
Right-click the icon for your printer model, and then click Remove device. If multiple icons exist for the printer, remove them all.
-
Close the Devices and Printers window, and then continue to the next step.
Step 2: Install the printer on your PC
- Click here to download the HP Full-featured driver.
- Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Connect the USB cable when prompted by the software.
- Try to print.
