Hi @George429 ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP LaserJet M14-M17 Pro printer is no longer working after you fixed your PC issue. To troubleshoot this problem, here are a few steps to follow:

1. Check the Printer's Power and Connections:

  • Ensure the printer is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Confirm that the USB or network cable (if applicable) is securely connected between the printer and the PC.
  • If you're using a wireless connection, ensure the printer is connected to the WiFi network correctly.

2. Restart the Printer and PC:

  • Turn off both your printer and PC.
  • Wait for a minute and then turn both devices back on.
  • Test if the printer is recognized by the PC again.

3. Reinstall Printer Drivers:

  • Sometimes after a PC issue, drivers may become corrupted or outdated.
  • Go to the HP Support website, search for your printer model, and download the latest drivers and software.
  • Uninstall any existing printer drivers from your PC first, then reinstall the new ones.

4. Check Printer Settings and Status:

  • Make sure the printer is not in an error state (like offline, paper jam, or low toner).
  • Check the printer's display panel (if available) for any error messages.

5. Run Printer Troubleshooter (Windows):

  • Open Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners.
  • Select your printer and click Manage > Run the troubleshooter.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.

6. Verify Network Connection (for Wireless Printers):

  • If the printer is connected via WiFi, check if the connection is still active.
  • Print a network configuration page directly from the printer (you may need to refer to the manual for instructions).

7. Test with Another Computer (if available):

  • If possible, try connecting the printer to another computer to rule out a potential issue with the original PC.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
