Envy 5055 won't print from computer, but does copy manually

[dede68]

Envy 5055 had been working fine. A week ago I tried to print from a computer through wifi connection.  Made noises like it was printing but the paper came out without any ink.  Tried to make a copy manually on the printer and it did print so I knew it wasn't empty or clogged.  For the past two days, I have tried all the suggestions given by the app and support resources and it still is not working.  I am not too technical so any help or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using the HP Smart App on your PC? If not, you may try and install to see if that works: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_1716406-1413451-16. If yes, uninstall and reinstall it.

5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'

6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.

7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)

8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab

9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom

10.) Select Ok

11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows

12.) Close Devices and Printers

13.)  Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
