The PDF file is just B&W with words on it.  200 pages.  It will only print a few pages then stops with the last page only printed halfway down the page.  Printer then says "Processing from Tray 2" but is NOT printing.  Then my Desktop computer Printer Icon sends an "Error" message:  "Out of Paper," and it's NOT out of paper!  Ugh!  Please help!  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, as well as my Printer in Devices, my HP Printer driver, made sure paper settings match in all locations, etc.  I'm out of solutions.  Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much for taking the time out and providing your kind reply.  I actually had tried the different drivers as well.  I finally reached out to an old friend/computer tech I worked with many years ago, and he suggested factory re-set.  I did try that last night but couldn't get it to re-set.  I tried again this morning and that seems to maybe have done the trick!  Fingers crossed.  I won't really know for sure until I try to print another large PDF file.  (And yes, I made sure it was opening in Acrobat).  Finally, my friend also thought it could be a fuser going bad.  However, the printer is less than a year old and not used very often, so I was hoping that wasn't it...but you never know.  It could have initially been a bad one put in there.

Thanks again!  May you be rewarded for your kindness.
With gratitude,

There are a lot of issues with print drivers in Windows 10 currently. You will just need to keep trying different versions of print drivers until you find one that works. There are both PCL and PS Universal print drivers- I'd recommend trying a PS version.

 

Verify your PDF file is opening in acrobat reader and not Edge or Chrome.

I am not a HP employee. I am a service tech on these forums researching topics and offering my best guess to aide in your troubleshooting.
