HP P1595N will not print over the network

[20Meters]

My Laser Jet P1505N is connected to my network thru my router. It has an IP of 192.168.1.7. 

I can print over the network with two other laptops and a desktop.

However with my HP Probook 440 G2, all jobs just sit in the print queue. Eventually I get a message that the printer in in an error state. HP;s print doctor said it found a problem. I clicked on  "Fix" but it could not fix it.

I ran the only driver program that is on the HP web site. It tells me to connect the PC to the printer via a USB cable. this is not an option but it did load the drivers.

I am a retired network and systems administrator, and it has me stumpped.

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Installing the printer using Windows Built-in Print Driver may resolve this issue. Let us try these steps:

Step 1: Set Windows Update to automatically download driver software

1. In Windows, search for and open Change device installation settings.

2. In the Device Installation Settings window, select the Yes option, and then click Save Changes.

   

Step 2: Install the print driver with the Add a Printer wizard

1. In Windows, search for and open Control Panel.

2. Click Devices and Printers, and then click Add a printer.

   

3. On the Choose a device or printer to add to this PC window, Click The printer I want isn't listed, and then select Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings.

4. 

5. Select Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname, and then click Next.

   

6. Select Autodetect from the Device type drop-down list.

   To find the printer IP address, print a Wireless Network Test report or a Network Configuration page.
