I have a DeskJet 2710 printer. It prints fine from the hardwired desktop computer. I installed it using my household WiFi network on a laptop running Windows 10, and the installation apparently went fine - the laptop recognizes the printer. When I try to print (wirelessly) from Word or Adobe, the document enters the queue but nothing happens. HP Smart says that the printer is "ready." If I try to print the same document from the HP Smart app, it works fine. How do I get it to print directly from a program such as Word?

I understand that you are unable to print from different applications, I am glad to assist you.

- Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
- Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
