I've been using my HP 4050 laser printer for well over a year without any issue. Earlier today I installed my HP 7130 all in one. I honestly don't know if this had anything to do with it but now I can't print at all to my HP 4050 (I haven't used the 4050 in a few days so I can't isolate that it stopped working just today). Anyway, I did a restore point to this AM right before the 7130 installation -- my software & printers for the 7130 were removed so I assume it's the right restore point (i.e. before the 7130 installation).
Here's what I've tried:
1- From "Printers & Faxes" deleted my printer.
2- Rebooted the PC
3- Turned the printer off and on
4- Got a new printer cable
5- Added a new printer to LPT1 port through the wizard. Tried using the CD that came with my printer. When it still didn't work, got the drivers directly from HP site.
6- Ensured that printer is not offline
I've tried printing from Wordpad, Notepad, word, excel etc... Where else should I be looking? The troubleshooting wizard didn't help me much.
Thank you.
