My HP Envy 5530 stops printing after windows 10 updates. Printer shows installed and connected but when I try to print I get an message that there is an error printing. I've followed the steps provided by HP and removed the latest update but nothing seems to work.

Did all those steps, plus uninstalled the last two windows 10 updates. Still did not work. Called HP and found out that my printer lost communications with HP (I have instant ink service). That was resolved but still wasn't working. HP support person determined my printers IP address was changed during one of the windows updates (. Added the IP address and all is well.) Next windows update will supposedly correct the problem. I'll wait til I see it.
