The wife says I did it, but I just need to fix it.
The ctrl P brings up a print scren with preview loading msg and that is all. If I click on print it goes to limbo land. What can I do to fix it?

I fixed it by taking Google out of control of my system and giving it back to Internet Explorer .
Use the control panel to change defaults.
My system is -Using Windows 7 -with a Brother MFC-J430W printer and a HP Pavilion 6 gig mem 1 terabit hard drive PC and cable with 30 gig internet.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
At least you know it's your fault, yes? Smiling.

If this is still an issue:
The problem may just be a communication glitch....
Start by restarting everything: Computer(s), Printer, Router -- switch off any other devices that print to the printer, too -- phones, iPads, and the like.

If that doesn't fix it, you could try reinstalling the Printer Software:
Install Full Feature Software – Printer
