I've seen this issue elsewhere but the fixes posted haven't worked for me - I've spent two hours losing my mind trying everything I can think of and now I need someone to grace me with their knowledge.
I replaced my old HP printer because after a refresh of my OS HP wouldn't let me reinstall it as they no longer supported the drivers - they wouldn't even let me run the original software disk.
So begrudgingly I bought a smart HP printer 2710e - followed the instructions, it printed a test page and I used it to scan docs and create PDFs - so alls fine - so fast forward a couple months and I've written a letter in Word 2010 tried to print it, the job goes through but not text on the page once printed.
Printer prints a web page fine.
I followed the solutions maked on this forum as a fix - those being adjust the user account - didn't work - remove the printer and reinstall - didn't work, then finally went to the HP website and downloaded the 200mb pack to install the printer - that didn't work.
I'm beyond peeved - why I wasn't allowed to install my old printer which worked fine is beyond me - buy now HP have forced me to spend money - the stupid smart printer can't print a simple word document.
