The one thing that you didn't mention trying is this: Uninstall the printer and reinstall the printer. Do you have the cd that came with the printer? If you do not, you can download the drivers from the HP website. ALSO you might want to see if there are updated drivers on the HP website --- Hope this helps!

Sounds like a faulty driver giving your computer incorrect instructions.  First, try uninstalling and then reinstalling your printer drivers.  Next, run the printer utilities (found by going  Contro Panel>Printers and Faxes and right clicking on the troubled printer and clicking properties.  Then click the "utilities" tab and use all of them to make sure it's not a simple quick fix you need.).  That should do it.

Unplug your printer from the USB or parallel port.\n\nDelete the printer you currently have from Start>Settings>Printer and Faxes.  \n\nDownload and install the driver I posted in the sources area.  \n\nPlug up the printer again after you have installed the driver, and it should work fine.

I suspect your Print Head might be faulty. The first link below is the HP site for your Printer. The second takes to troubleshooting and diagnostics. The last is the manual.\nCheers and Goodluck, a print head is very expensive and usually its cheaper to buy a new printer.

Need more information.  What brand and model of printer do you have?  Where are you downloading from, and what kind of trouble are you having (error messages, etc.)?

Same thing happened to me. Go to epson.com, find your printer model, and you can download the driver to install it.

Can you print a demo page from the printer? That is always the best first step in diagnosing a printer problem! If you can, you know the printer will print, so we can move on to the connections.\n\nEnsure your connections are sound. Unplug and reattatch all your cables, including your power cable. (If you can't shut off your Printer using its own power button, that may signal that there is a serious problem with the printer.) OK, once all the cables are back in place, try to print again. NOTHING?\n\nNext, uninstall and reinstall your printer. Ensure that you completly uninstall your printer from your PC, don't just update the drivers. The installed drivers may be corrupt. Also, if you allow windows to reinstall the drivers and the printer continues to have the same issue, you may need to download a new driver from the manufacturers web site. If the windows version of the driver didn't work, uninstall and reinstall using this downloaded driver instead.\n\nIf that doesn't work...here is where can get pricey!\n\nFirst, if you have a friend with a accessable PC, take your printer there, hook it up as you would at home and see what happens. If it has the same issue there, then you have narrowed down the problem to being either the printer or the cable connecting the printer to the PC.\n\nSecond step would be to replace the printer cable. (Mind you, this may not be your issue, it could still be the printer and you may waste your money) A good solution is if that same friend uses the same type of cable you do, use that one and see if your printer works. If none of that works, it is time to put that printer out to pasture and buy a new one!
