HP DeskJet 3755 only prints blank pages from applications such as Word and Edge. However, if I print a test page or print from "Print Documents" in HP Smart, it prints successfully. It is a new printer with new cartridges and is fully capable of printing. It just only prints from HP Smart and not from anywhere else.

If not done, you'll need to install the full driver printer software.
The following is relevant to Windows -- Check the printer's Software & Drivers page for other Operating System(s).
Skip the parts you do not need.
====================================
Printer Software
If you have not yet done so, install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.
HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts. The full driver generally adds at one, possibly least one, possibly two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and/or HP Scan.
NOTES:
HP Scan is not installed if the printer does not support Scan.
The Printer Assistant is not installed if the type of full driver software does not support it. If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.
No Sign-in required to use full driver printer software.
Reinstalling?
- Uninstall existing full driver printer software from Programs and Features.
- If your printer includes a separate "help" in Programs and Features, uninstall that, too.
- Restart the computer and log in.
- If the printer is connected to the computer using a printer USB cable, remove / disconnect the cable before loading the software.

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in.

The installation of the full driver generally adds at least one or more shortcuts to the Desktop.
Note: Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.
- Printer Assistant – Where still supported as part of the full driver printer software
- HP Scan Assistant – For those printers that no longer provide the Printer Assistant
- HP Scan – Shortcut on Desktop named for the printer model
- When installed, HP Universal Scan software adds a separate self-named “HP Scan” shortcut
Important
Printer Assistant shortcut > Tab Scan > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable
OR
HP Scan Assistant shortcut > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable
Example - Windows - Full Feature Software - Installed

HP DeskJet 3700 printers - Blinking lights
Web Services light blinks amber
This error occurs when a Web Services print job is blocked, or when HP Instant Ink is cancelled and a software message has not been acknowledged.
If both the Web Services light and the HP Instant Ink icon blink and the HP Instant Ink Service has been recently cancelled, press the Information button twice to resume printing.
If only the Web Services light blinks, an HP ePrint email print job has been blocked.
