My printer has been working well for the past few years but now it will not print. I have tried the HP Print & Scan Doctor but still no luck. In my settings it shows the following 2 printer items: HP ENVY 5540 Series (Network), and Scan Only - HP ENVY 5540 series (Network) - DO NOT Delete.
Just before it stopped working it would not print photos saying that there was no paper when clearly there was.
Can anybody help please?
