The problem with my printer is that it doesn't print any words at all. The only words its able to print is the "printers information Report", other than that It prints pictures and that's all. The ink is not a problem, so I don't know what's going on. Please help, thanks.

Hi @Bluh2024,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
Update firmware. Click here
If that does not fix it, follow the steps.
Step 1: Cancel the print job
- Cancel the print job before performing a printer reset.
- In Windows, search for and open Control Panel.
- Under Hardware and Sound, click View devices and printers.
- Double-click the printer icon, and then double-click See What's Printing.
- The print queue opens.
- Click the print job you want to cancel, and then click Document.
- Click Cancel, and then click Yes to confirm the selection.
- NOTE:
- If the lights on the printer continue to blink after you cancel the print job, the computer is still sending the job to the printer. Either delete the job from the print queue or wait until the computer finishes sending information. The printer returns to its ready state.
Continue to the next step.
Step 2: Reset the printer
- Resetting the printer can often resolve printing issues.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the power source.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
- NOTE:
- HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
- Try to print. If the issue persists, continue to the next step.
Step 3: Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor
Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor to automatically identify and resolve the issue.
Try to print. If the issue persists, continue to the next step.
