Hi @rshari,

Thanks for stopping by the HP community. A very good day to you.  I reviewed the post regarding issues with the printer not printing. Superb description and stupendous diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:

• Did you try to copy directly from the computer and check?

For now, try these steps:

• Make 2 copies directly from the printer without any communication from the computer to eliminate hardware issues.

If it copies fine, then uninstall and reinstall the printer software by following these steps:

• Uninstall the printer from "programs and features" which can be accessed by doing a right-click on the Windows button (Please have the printer Off and disconnected during uninstallation.)
• Check in device manager, if the printer is listed there, please delete it. (Right-click on the Windows button to access device manager)
• Go to devices and printers, select any printer listed there and you will get some options on the top.
• Click on print server properties.
• You will get a popup, click on the drivers tab and delete all the HP printer drivers listed there if any.
• Delete all the instances of your printer listed in devices and printers.
• Restart the PC.
• Once the PC is on the desktop, press Win + R, it would bring a Run dialog box,
• Type %temp% in the run box and click Ok or hit the Enter button.
• It would bring up the temporary files folder. Delete the files in the folder (You might not be able to delete all the files).
• If possible, delete the printer from the registries using Regedit or using any other 3rd party application.
• Ignore the Regedit option if it cannot be done.
• Restart the PC again.

Then download the latest full feature driver from http://hp.care/2wZ4GM5 and install it on the computer after selecting the correct operating system. Install the Basic Driver

Connect the printer to your computer only when the setup prompts for the printer.

This should do the trick for you.

If the problem persists, then install the Windows Built-in drivers by following instructions from this link: http://hp.care/2o3acvH

 and check again. This should fix the issue.

Please perform all these steps patiently as it is critical to resolving the issue. The trick is to remain patient, Going by your technical expertise and competence I am sure you will be able to perform these steps without breaking a sweat. 🙂

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great.
