No error messages. HP print & scan doctor fixed same problem with Firefox and Microsoft Edge, but Chrome browser does not print.This is after the big recent Windows 10 update. All 3 browsers printed anything fine before the Windows update.

To Raj1788. Printer that can't print after latest large Windows update only on Google's Chrome is HP Officejet 5745. Prints OK after HP scandoctor ran only on Firefox and Windows Edge. Yes, Chrome has been downloaded again. Still can't print using Chrome. Prints fine using Edge nd Firefox.

I needed help to get my HP Officejet 5745 to print using Google's Chrome browser. No browser would originally work after the huge Windows 10 update. By using HP Print and Scan Doctor, I was able to get Microsoft Edge and Firefox browsers to print. After following instructions provided by HP Support team (Raj 1788), I am now able to print on every browser I have installed. Thank Raj1788 for me. It was a fine fix for what seemed an impossible task.
