I have used the HP Print and Scan Doctor software and removed and reinstalled the software for the printer but everytime I send to print I receive an error message saying the the printer failed to print. I can print on the same printer from other devices just not my Acer Aspire 5 laptop.

- If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.
- If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.
- If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.
Connect the printer to TCP/IP port

a. Click Start/Devices and Printers. Right-click on your HP Printer. Select Printer Properties. Select the Ports tab at the top.
b. Select Add Port. Select Standard TCP/IP Port. Select New Port.
