Briefly explain your current issue(s)
Printer CAN print, everything checks out fine, but spooling just dissapears after spooling for a second. It gives up.
Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful
Troubleshoot with Help + Support (problem not listed)
Spooler is not sending info to the printer... , I checked all settings and all seems fine. Spooler is on automatic.

I never had this problem ever... it doesn't even make sense to me.... it will test print but ONLY on its HP Printer prefferences, it wont work otherwise. The only odd things is when I went to print, a Microsoft document writer was the default. So I figured this was the issue, but after reboot and the HP printer set to default. Nothing happends, same dissapering spooler and nothing starts printing...

I DON'T GET IT, I didn't change anything.

Now trying to print has froze firefox.

Firefox I'm on the beta update channel could this be a problem, ?I dunno what happened. I just installed this printer a few weeks ago and it was working great. :\

Im on Firefox 36 beta , im stuck on a beta channel is the beta updates messing things up?

Should I try reinstalling the driver, do i uninstall driver..., it will print but only on test preferences from the Printer itself. It fails with windows printer test page or any others.

The only thing thats happened since last printing was.. I installed WPS Office, and tried and failed a Yandex/Sleiphnir browser for whatever reason (initialize wont work with these browsers)

Hi ! Did the print and scan doctor find any thing?? Do you have the install CD. You might have to uninstall and reinstall the printer!! I have done that before.
I hate printers. They are a pain in the neck when they don't work. Most of the time I just uninstall and reinstall!!

that hewlett packard framework support that i accidently installed, took 4 uninstalls to get rid of it... what is that? is the PC ok? or should i try system restore to retract some problems ?

i dunno if its the printer driver, because it will print... it just doesn't spool properly it the task sets itself and then dissapears from thin air! :mad:
