Hi @gunny72,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding the "Rendering Failed" error on the HP 8130e!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Check for Software Conflicts:
- Ensure no software on your Gram laptop is interfering with the printer. This can include security software or third-party firewall applications.
Driver Verification:
- Even though drivers are reported as up-to-date, reinstall them to ensure they are correctly installed.
- Download the latest drivers from the HP Support Website and follow the installation instructions.
Printer Status Check:
- Make sure the printer is listed as ready in your devices list. In Windows, you can check this in the "Devices and Printers" section.
Print Job Clearance:
- Clear the print queue to remove any corrupted print jobs that may be causing the error.
Change Printer Settings:
- Ensure the printer settings correspond to the document type you are trying to print. Adjust settings related to quality, paper type, and resolution as needed.
Test with Different Documents:
- Try printing a different type of file or document to see if the issue persists. Sometimes specific files can cause rendering errors.
Update and Check System Settings:
- Ensure your Gram laptop's operating system is fully updated to ensure compatibility with applications and drivers.
- Check if any Windows components might require updates.
I hope this helps.
