@3275, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're having trouble printing from your computer to your new HP printer. Let's walk through some steps to get everything working smoothly.
Check Printer Connection
- USB Printer: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the printer and the computer.
- Wireless Printer: Make sure the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer. You can check this on the printer's control panel under Network Settings.
Set the Printer as Default
- On your computer, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
- Right-click your HP printer and select Set as default printer.
Reinstall the Printer Driver
Sometimes, reinstalling the driver helps resolve communication issues:
- Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
- Select your printer and click Remove device.
- Then, download and install the latest driver from the HP website: Official HP® Support
Check Print Queue
- Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
- Double-click your printer and cancel any stuck print jobs.
Restart Devices
- Restart both your printer and computer after completing the above steps.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
