    I would suggest you to uninstall the hardware

    i.e by

    right click on my computer

    select device manager

    and click on imaging devices i.e your printer

    right click on your printer name

    click on uninstall

    after that restart your computer

    again right click on my computer

    select device manager

    right click on your computer name on top

    scan for hardware changes

    it will ask you to install printer drivers

    select latest drivers of you printer and install.

    restart and check your requirement.

    It is not clear from what you say whether the problem can be dealt with through windows or it would be better to post a question on the HP Forum. Join the conversation
