Hello hp Community,
I have two HP LaserJet Pro M402n and two PCs facing same issue, both PCs are Windows 11.
I have installed the printer on one of them before 1 one year without any problem,
But Now, the printer not printing, and can't cancel the queue list normally, I force cancel them by manually but still not printing and make waiting queue list.
here is the problem now:
I removed the printer, then start trying install it again,
after run the driver program it start normally until reach 99%
then this message appear (an install operation took too long to execute)
I tried lots of solutions:
- uninstall any existing HP M402 or LaserJet software
- stop and restart the printer spooler
- manually deleting the previous queue list from the temporary file has them
- run the driver from the printer CD.
non of them worked.
I would be grateful if you have a suggestion for solving this problem.
