With my HP 2632 I can only print jpg files. When trying to print another file such as pdf, word, etc, nothing happens. When I open settings the following message appears (translated from Dutch): one part of the printing functionality is not available @this moment.

@stevinsonboy,

 

Let's try these steps here:

If the issue persists, Let's uninstall the printer from the root level and then reinstall it.

  • Press “Windows key” + “r” to get the “Run” window.
  • Type "services.msc" to get Services – Go to “Print spooler” – Right-click and “Stop” the service.
  • Now again open "Run" - Type “spool” and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.
  • Go to services again - Start the print spooler.
  • Now check for issue resolution.
  • If the issue persists, also try clean installing the printer drivers. Here are the steps:
  • First, unplug the USB cable from the printer if present.
  • Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP DeskJet printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
  • Press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" (There is a space between .exe & /) and press enter.
  • Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
  • Again, go to the Run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Please click here  to download and install the full feature software for this printer. 
  • Connect the USB cable if prompted and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Let me know how it goes!

While I am abroad, a member of the family @home informed me about this problem. I have forwarded your anser/solution and got feedback everything is working again after running HP Print and Scan doctor.

So thank you very much for your great help.
