Enter the control panel and double click on printers, right click on the one you wish to use and go properties and check that it is set up correctly, USB selected.. all drivers working correctly.. use the toolbox or on the main start programs are Hp Toolbox to test the printers connectivity.. check power and that all cables are safley in place.
