Printer install, test print ok, will not print anything else, cannot select as default printer

Printer installs fine, test pages, alignment pages, colour print pages all test fine, they are selected to print from the option on control panel. Trying to print from any other program, the printer is not listed as an option. Going through control panel, try selecting it as default printer, following messge given :
Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709). Double check the printer name and make sure the printer is connected to the network.
Printer connected via USB direct to my single laptop. Uninstalled and re installed, as per troubleshooting instuctions. Ran troubleshooting program and HP print and scan doctor.  Only info given was that it was not default printer, when asked to fix the problem it states it cannot.
Had a previous HP printer scanner, all removed (it broke, hence the new one), never had a problem with the install, this new one is being a real pain, any help would be appreciated

Hello again mattcpx ,
I think what we are going to need to do is start right from scratch.  Seeing that the only printer listed is generic printer icon from Windows 7(This icon does nothing for the printer you have installed), we are going to uninstall your printer and do a proper re install.
Lets start off by removing the usb cable from both the printer and from the computer and leave it disconnected until further notice. 
The first link I have for you gives detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once the uninstall is complete, please reboot the computer so that the changes take affect.
When the computer is back on, disable any firewalls or anti virus protection that you may have running.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Do a power cycle on the printer with the use of the on/off button.  This will do a semi power reset on the printer.
The next step that we are going to take is to download and save the HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers to the desktop of the computer.  This will create a new icon on the computer and make the download easy to find.
Double click on the new icon and follow the installation instructions.  The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable so please do NOT connect it before hand.
Let me know how you make out.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

    Connect the iPhone to the compter you usually sync with
    and use iTunes on that computer to do the restore.

  • I have a hppsc 1310 series that prints the test page, butr will not print the selected document.

    I have a hppsc 1310 series that prints the test page when turned on, but will not print the document I want to print.  It shows in STATUS as printing, but it does not print.  I keep getting a message to install software and I do this.  I then get a message software installed, but it still will not print.  This just started about five days ago. 

    Hello ausection29,
    Most likely what is printed when you turn on the PSC 1310 is an alignment page. To complete the alignment process you need to place this page on the scanner glass and press the Scan button. The top of the page should be towards the left of the printer I believe, double check this on your printer (there should be a small icon next to the scanner glass showing which way the paper should be placed on the glass).
    You can have a look at step 5 in this document for a video of how to do this:

  • My iPad demands that I sign into iMessage.  It will not accept my password and will not allow anything else to operate.

    My iPad began by demanding I sign into iCloud.  (I had recently changed my Apple account password.)  I entered the password and then iMessage demanded my password for the same account.  It would not accept my password and it keeps popping up, not allowing anything else to operate on the iPad. How do I fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod only showing the apple logo and will not do anything else. 1st GEN

    my ipod will only show the apple logo when plugged in to my computer i have a dell running xp but i have tried other computers and it will not do anything but show this symbol. my computer does not recognise that it is plugged in. ive tried the apple support fix-it but it does not do anything period. the buttons do not work when plugged in or not. the only thing it does is light up when plugged in. my other ipod works perfectly no problems so this leads me to believe that its not the computers i have used. just think the ipod has had it

    Mine did the same thing last week after trying to update it via wi-fi. I then spent 11 hours Sunday updating my itunes on the laptop then restoring my ipod. Now all it does is beep as if it is just plugged in and flash the white apple logo. It beeps constantly. My computer at first didn't recognize it, then it did but said I needed to unlock it,(since I can't get the home screen up, I can't.) and now it doesn't recognize it at all. I've tried both computers.

  • My 6310 All in One will print a test page but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. WTH?

    My HP 6310 will print a test page fine, but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. It goes thru the motions, but the image printed is almost not there. I have new ink cartridges in it. I have adjusted the print settings. STILL won't print properly. WTH???

    Hm, okay, thanks for getting back to me again!
    Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and test print again.

  • HT201363 My Ipad says disabled it wont turn on well it turns on but it will not do anything else.

    My Ipad says disabled it wont funtion it wont go any further

    Hey there koolup,
    It sounds like your iPad will not unlock because the passcode lock has been forgotten. This article will help you with that named:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    There are different instructions depending on whether or not you have synced the device to your iTunes library, so be sure to follow the correct ones.
    If this is not the issue, would you mind telling me the exact message that is appearing and when it appears?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • 2 weeks ago, Firefox changed. It will not print graphics in a web page or show them in print preview. It also does not provide the ability to select options in "print forms". they are now grayed out.

    I am using www.investools.com
    It prints the graphics in the normal page fine
    but when I switch to prophetcharts, which loads javascript, the graphs do not display or print.
    The text on the left side of the display show but graphs do not, even when I reduce printing size to 30%.
    I am using an HP 8500 Pro Officejet.
    Everything works in IE fine (but I don't want to use IE).

    Hi ArielAce , thanks for getting back to me!
    I would recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.

        Hello crawford1968, your efforts are appreciated! Was there any physical or water damage on the phone? The factory reset is the last resort option. Have you tried letting the phone's battery drain and then charge the device to see if the power on will respond? We can definitely look into replacement options since the device is not responding.
