    I solved the problem by dumping my HP and getting an Epson.  I gave up on the HP.

    Trying to get the proper driver for my dell 660 to communicate with my HP Officejet 6500e710A printer.  When computer was first purchased (may 25, 2013) all worked fine.  Now the computer does not communicate with printer at all.  all is on a wireless setup.  can scan information, that is on printerwithout any problem.  This failure has taken place over a period of time.  Has now ceased completely.  Probably need to apply a different driver for the HP to communicate?  MARPLE44
