Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

If not yet done,

Consider...

 

Check that Windows Updates are current and installed - If any updates are Pending, Restart the computer and log in

 

An easy "Catch all" when all else appears to be in order:

Restart everything, including the router that controls your network

 

Next,

Check the Temp folder permissions

Check / Restart / Rebuild the Printer Queue - Print Services

 

Example - Temp Folder - Permissions - Spooler / Print Services

Print_Services_Print_Spooler_Temp_Folder_Permissions_2Print_Services_Print_Spooler_Temp_Folder_Permissions_2
