Thank you for joining HP Forums.
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
I see that you’re unable to print Word documents and the web page.
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
When was the last time it worked fine?
Was there any error message while trying to print from Word document?
Have you tried printing from a different web browser?
Does this happen only while printing from one website or all the different websites?
Could you share a picture of the printed document?
Let’s try these steps to resolve the issue:
Try printing from another web browser and different web pages and let me know!
For Word printing issue, try these steps:
Disable UAC:
Here are the steps to configure UAC settings:
- Open User Account Control Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click Change User Account Control settings.
- To turn off UAC, move the slider to the Never notify position, and then click OK.
- if you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- You will need to restart your computer for UAC to be turned off.
Give Full permission:
- Press the "Windows logo key" + "r" to get “Run" - Type "spool" and press ok.
- Right-click on "PRINTERS" - Select "Properties"
- Select "Security" tab. You will find few entries like "Administrators" and "users", click on "Edit" and give "Full permission" to all the entries. Save / apply the settings.
- Go to "Devices and printers", right-click on the new printer that you installed and select "Printer properties".
- Select "Security" tab. You will find few entries like "Administrators" and "users", click on "Edit" and give "Full permission" to all the entries. Save / apply the settings.
- Restart your computer and then try to print.
Root level uninstall and reinstall printer drivers:
- Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP OfficeJet printer entries and uninstall them.
- Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
- Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
- Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
- Again, go to run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
