Any resolution for this yet?
I see many threads on this topic are ignored by HP. I'm a computer tech, and this has been happening on and off for YEARS. Every 6mo or so, it will happen to someone. The only resolution seems to be is reinstalling the drivers. Is there a root cause for this? I know a CEO/manager/supervisor/director would want a root cause, so, what does a customer get? Do we just need to reinstall the driver every 6 months?
Please don’t ask me to check the connections, reboot the PC, reboot the printer, HP Scan doctor, check firewall settings, factory reset, and reinstall the driver.
