Printer Problems
I have been using the same HP Envy 6075 printer and my computer HP Pavilion for about 4 months with no problems. All of a sudden I cannot print wireless or wired.

Here are the steps I take to resolve printer issues:
  1. Win+I to open Settings
  2. Click Devices > Printers & scanners
  3. Locate your printer
  4. Click on it > Remove device
  5. Turn off computer
  6. Plug Printer in with USB
  7. Turn the computer back on
Windows should see the printer and reinstall the driver.
