I have an HP Envy 6458e which is not printing when I attempt to print form a downloaded document or from my computer. When I print, it sounds like it's printing but only a blank page comes out.
The printer makes copies perfectly fine.
I performed a printer head cleaning twice and the test page prints,
When I print a test page from HP smart test page, it also prints fine.
Does anyone have a clue what might be going on?
