Error message - Printer Validation Failed

[PhxLK]

I've got an HP Envy 6055 printer that I've been using for over a year.  It suddenly started giving me the error code Printer Validation Failed. 

My computer recognizes it, and shows it is connected (with USB cord).  I can scan on the printer and save it to the computer, I just can't print. 

I am up to date on printer updates.  I tried the Print and Scan Doctor, and it didn't help, I still get the error code.

Any recommendations?  Thanks.
