Hi @Cn1b6bp1v4,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your HP DeskJet 3772 All-In-One Printer. Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue.

Check Connections:

• Ensure that the printer is properly connected to a power source.
• Verify the USB or wireless connection between the printer and your computer.

Printer Status:

• Make sure the printer has enough paper and ink.
• Check for any error messages or blinking lights on the printer. Refer to the printer's manual for troubleshooting specific error codes.

Restart Devices:

• Turn off both your computer and the printer. Wait for a few minutes, then turn them back on. This can sometimes resolve communication issues.

Update Printer Drivers:

• Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. You can download the drivers from the official HP website.

Wireless Connection:

• If you're using a wireless connection, make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.

Print Queue:

• Check the print queue on your computer. Cancel any pending print jobs and try printing a new document.

Firewall/Antivirus Software:

• Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus software to see if they are causing the issue. If printing works after disabling them, you may need to adjust the settings to allow printer communication.

Reinstall the Printer:

• Remove the printer from your computer's list of devices and reinstall it. To do this, go to "Devices and Printers" on your computer, right-click on the printer, and select "Remove device." Then, reinstall the printer using the provided software.

Check for Windows Updates:

• Ensure that your operating system is up-to-date with the latest updates.

HP Print and Scan Doctor:

• Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor utility from the official HP website. This tool can automatically diagnose and fix printing problems.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
