Hello, @Peciacake - Greetings!

 

Thanks for your continued participation in HP Support Forums! I would like to be of your assistance 🙂

 

I understand that you are having issues while printing from your Windows XP machine. Let's try the following steps to try and fix your issue:

 

  • Unplug the USB cable from the printer and computer if present.
  • Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Envy printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Now click on http://hp.care/2efcIYb to download and install the printer drivers.
  • Connect the USB cable if prompted and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.

 

Let me know if that helps!

Good luck 🙂

Hello @Peciacake

 

Thanks for the update!

 

The issue sure looks like a driver issue. Try using the Windows built-in drivers and check. 

Go to Control panel - Printers and faxes and use the "Add Printer" to add your network printer.

You can check this YouTube video for reference: http://hp.care/2jqplRp 

 

Those steps should do the trick, let me know the outcome!

Cheers 🙂
