I have had this printer for about 3 years now and have had no issues until recently. I am unable to print via wifi and USB connection. I have tried everything including all the virtual assistant tasks, buying new ink, etc. The problem lies in the fact that it will print a test page perfectly through wifi and USB but will not print anything else on any kind of platform. It will not print from WORD, notepad, online sources, photos, etc. Can someone please help with this issue?

i have a HP Deskjet2546P All in One Printer with S/N [personal info removed. ]purchased after a fire about 2 yrs ago. Just recently started experiences such as not printing documents and getting message stated device not recognized and printer offline.  Please help or is it just time to replace the printer.  Just purchased expensive ink cartridge.
