This is driving me insane, I have an HP envy 5032 and when i try to print, it shows the header but won't print any text at all. I have run every diagnostic known to man without success and the printer tells me I have a good stock of ink available. I have uninstalled and reinstalled also. I have run Scan Dr and it says my printer is working, I have also cleaned and aligned it so much I've used up a small forest in paper. Can someone pleaseeeeeee help?

I reviewed your post and I understand that the printer is not printing text.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
Are you facing the face issue when you make a copy?
From which software/application you are printing?
Meanwhile, I recommend you root uninstall the printer and then reinstall it and check if it helps.
Here is how it is done.
1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features
2.) Select your HP Printer
3.) Select Uninstall
4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers
5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'
6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom
10.) Select Ok
11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows
12.) Close Devices and Printers
13.) Restart the PC
14.) Download and install the printer software from the below link.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
