I have power cycled both the printer and computer multiple times with no change. I have also tried printing different document types (word, PPT, PDF) but it made no difference. I just restarted the print spooler but that didn't change it either.
Suddenly I am not able to print with my HP 9120e. I get the print dialog box and the printer is the default. When I click 'print' there is no error message on the printer, but I get a notification: . I have the latest firmware and I just downloaded and installed the latest drivers. It...
In a recent post, (problem since fixed) one of the responders suggested that I look in the reliability monitor. I found that I was getting a consistent error of 'Background Task Host Stopped Working' for the past couple of weeks. I've looked and others had problems shutting down relating to...
No, I was going to use a regular print, just sending a file from the phone. One of the other responders suggested trying to print from another computer on that printer. I have the printer connected to the network so I can reach it from the iPad or iPhone.
This is the only printer I have. I tried sending something from the iPhone to the printer, but the printer was not found. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer but when HP Smart tries to find the printer it can't find any printers. I have an image backup from November; I think it is time...
Thank you for your suggestions. I have Office 365. I did a repair first, but that didn't make any difference. I did an uninstall and thern a reinstall. So far no difference. I will see in the morning after I do a restart of the PC.
Things have gone from bad to worse. Now I have problems printing from Word, also. I use (an old version of) Quicken and that also is having problems connecting to a printer. My HP printer keeps disappearing from the list of printers. That would explain connection problems but even after...
Thank you for all your suggestions. I have Office 365. I did a repair first, but that didn't make any difference. I did an uninstall and then a reinstall. Rebooted. I checked the features and Print to PDF is turned on. So far the problem persists.
Sorry, I should have included that. I connect via WiFi. It is strange that I get the same dialog box for printing in Word, but it connects to the printer and to Print to PDF without a problem. In Powerpoint, it goes into a loop trying to find the default printer. When I am able to say to use...
For the last couple of days I have not been able to connect to a printer from the print option in Power Point. My default printer disappeared. I added it back and it was gone again the next day. I wanted to use MS Print to PDF, but it went into a loop trying to connect to the printer. Has...
Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I also found some useful videos on getting rid of Onedrive.
Onedrive was the source of my problems, the other things were just symptoms. It was my own lack of understanding of how Onedrive works that caused me to overlook it when moving things around to...
It turned out to be a problem related to Onedrive. In moving files to the external drive I messed up linkages. In the end I deleted OneDrive and everything eventually straightened out.
