I can not print from internet ( doctors instructions, amazon, etc ) I have a officejet pro 6978. Funny thing is I have no printing issues with one of my laptop and the other prints fine except doc's over the internet. I have ran scan/print doctor, removed and reinstall app, smart phones also print on this same printer over the net. It is just this one laptop
