Hello, @Gobbler4 - Hope you are well 🙂
 

Thank you for becoming an HP Forum member. It is a great location to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others!


I understand that you are having trouble printing from the internet. To help you with the issue, I need to know the operating system on your PC. Reply with the details for specific steps.


Also, try to print using a different web-browser and then try and print. If the issue persists, then try to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers.


Assuming you are using a Windows PC, let’s first try to fix this issue using HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR). PSDR is an automated tool which can diagnose and resolve printing and scanning problems. Please go to http://hp.care/2bZ9w2q to download and run HP PSDR. Once you open the program, select your printer and click on “Fix Printing” to automatically diagnose and fix the issue.


I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!

Good luck 🙂

Trade what DVVORTEX Hp support agent suggested. Print and scan doctor solved my problem.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Thanks
