Driver is unavailable - HP Color LazerJet MFP M280nw

[Emma93]

My printer will not print from my laptop... I can print from my phone but emailing myself projects to then print off my phone is a huge inconvience.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and restarted a million times, I don't know what else to try.

I can't even print with my laptop plugged in directly to the printer.

Hi @Emma93,

I'd like to help!

 Let's try and uninstall the printer software from the root level on your PC and install the full feature printer software.

--->In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.

--->Select your HP printer.

--->Select Uninstall.

--->In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.

--->In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”

--->Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.

--->Type printui.exe /s and click OK.

--->Click on the Drivers tab.

--->Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click remove at the bottom.

--->Select OK.

--->Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.

--->Close Devices and Printers.

And then reinstall the printer full-featured drivers from the software and drivers page 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
