Hi @pcondonjr,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I understand that HP Print and Scan Doctor not working. I'd like to help!

Follow these steps below.

Stop print service, clear the print folder, and Start print service

Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > Services

Scroll down, find, Right-Click, and Stop Print Spooler Service

Open File Explorer (formally Windows Explorer)

Navigate to the folder and Delete the files from folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS

Start Print Spooler Service

Next...

Troubleshooting document:

Printer is Offline (Windows)

The first section does suggest using the Doctor.

Since that is not resolving the problem (that is, every day the printer is "offline"), try the next solution(s).

For example,  Start at Step 2 and continue.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
