Hi,
I recently purchased a HP Envy 5642 printer. I have no problem printing smaller documents, the problem is with large documents. I'm trying to print a document 99KB and I get the message:
PRINT FILTER PIPELINE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND WILL CLOSE
After getting this message, I took my PC to my computer tech, he updated/cleaned up and said all was ok. Still got the same message so I called HP support. I was on the phone with the tech for over 2 hours, he remotely accessed my PC and uninstalled/installed printer, cleaned out the printing que and other things, still same thing although he was excellent and patient he suggested I contact Microsoft.
I really don't think the issue is the printer. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Have you resolved it? Or do I throw my computer out the window:smileymad:
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

@njrebo, welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out.
I understand that you get an error message "PRINT FILTER PIPELINE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND WILL CLOSE"
while printing a large document.
This issue could occur if the windows temporary files are not deleted.
Please follow the steps to delete the windows temporary files.
- Close all open applications.
- Click the Start button.
- In the Search programs and files box, enter Disk Cleanup and press Enter.
- Locate Disk Cleanup in the list and double-click to open. Wait for the window to open.
- Select (check) these choices.
- Downloaded Program Files
- Temporary Internet Files
- Offline web pages
- Recycle Bin
- Temporary files
- Thumbnails
- Click OK. Click Delete Files.
- The window will close when done.
Let me know how that works.
I hope you have a good day ahead.
