HP Offficejet 8620 will not print with new HP Pavilion

[KB715]

Hi Everyone,

I purchased a new HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-1042 PC, and installed my HP Officejet Pro 8620 (Model A7F65A) by downloading the full-featured software and drivers from the HP website.  When finished, the message said: "Setup complete.  Printer is connected and ready to print."  But trying to print a document displays the error message: "HP5DEDFB Officejet printer is in an error state."  Scanner works, but printer does not.  I'm using genuine HP ink cartridges that are all full.  

I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer a few times, unplugged the printer, unplugged the router, and restarted the computer.  Network wireless settings on the printer are ON.  Still getting the same print error.  The printer worked fine with the old computer that was replaced.

The HP Print and Scan Doctor and a Virtual Agent did not fix the problem. I'd appreciate any help.  What can I do to fix the printer?  Thanks.

Welcome to the HP support community.

Assign a manual IP address and that should fix the issue.

1. Load plain white paper into the input tray.
2. On the printer control panel, touch the Wireless icon , and then touch the Settings icon .
3. Touch Print Reports, and then touch Network Configuration Page. A Network Configuration Page prints. note:

Setting a Static IP Address

Once you know your printer’s IP address, entering it is pretty easy. Here’s what you do:

1. Run your Web browser.
2. In the Web browser’s address bar, type the IP address of your printer and press Enter. Assuming you entered the right address, the HP printer control panel should appear.
3. Click the Networking tab.
4. Under Connections, click Wireless.
5. Under IP Address Configuration, click Manual IP.
6. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the appropriate boxes.
7. Click Apply.

Followed the instructions and did everything suggested.  At the end of the last installation step, I get the error message: driver unavailable.

I followed the instructions to uninstall the printer and remove device.  When I typed in the printui.exe command, there is no "HP print driver."  A friend of mine was over trying to help and may have deleted it already.    The only one listed is "/dd delete printer driver" -- see below.   Should I delete that one?  

Tried to install and got the same error again:  "Unsuccessful Network Installation."

What else can I try?  Thank you.

Update.  I tried sending a test doc from my HP laptop, and IT PRINTED!    So my laptop is communicating to the printer, but my desktop is not.  Doesn't that sound like the problem is with the new HP Pavilion TP01-1042 that replaced my old computer?  What can be done to fix it?  Thank you.
