Before I start I want you to know that the printer works. When I plugged it into my computer, it was automatically recognized, drivers were downloaded from windows update and I was printing in less than a minute. When I plunged it into my friends laptop (the actual owner) the issues begin.

The troubled computer is HP laptop with Win7 x64. When I plugged it in via same USB cable I used with mine it was automatically recognized, drivers were downloaded from windows update, but I was not able to print anything. I went to HP website and downloaded the entire software package and still nothing. When I am in the devices and printers window the computer recognizes when the printer is plugged in and and when it is not. But I can not even print a test page. The funny thing is that I can scan from the printer to the laptop, but I can not print to it.There are other printers connected to the laptop both network and USB and they work just fine.

Here is what I did so far:
  • I tried the automatically installed drivers
  • I downloaded the HP recommended drivers
  • I have restarted the spooler
  • There is nothing stuck in the job list
  • I have manually removed HP drivers and started again
  • I have used the HP driver removal tool (maximum level) and started again
  • I have set the printer to print directly to printer and bypass the spooler
And I still can not print but I can scan. Any thoughts anyone?
