Printer won't print from desktop, but will from laptop

Hi,
For some reason my printer does not print from my desktop, but it will perfectly fine on my laptop. It is USB connected. I have all the drivers, software, etc. for my Deskjet 1510 on my desktop, but it just won't print. Everytime I want to print I have to run the USB back and forth from my printer to my laptop. The desktop recognizes the printer and everything is plugged in. I have tried multiple USB slots and everything else works in those slots. I have tried the Print and Scan doctor also. Weird thing is the printer can scan to my desktop!
Any ideas?
Thank you

Hey there @pepsitruck
I understand you cannot print from your desktop however, you can print from your laptop.
Could you please run the Print and Scan Doctor again and let me know the results or post a screen image of the results?
This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
You can also try manually stopping and restarting the print spooler and try printing from Notepad afterwards.
1. Click Start
2. Type "Services" in the search field.
3. Open SERVICES
4. At the bottom, click "Extended View"
5. Search for Print Spooler
6. Right-click it and choose Properties
7. Select as Automatic in the drop down box, close the Window
8. Right click on Print Spooler and choose "Stop", wait until it stops and then right click again and "Start".
9. Close out of Services and try your print again.
When you get to your response, please include which version of Windows you're running please.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Thank you,

When you initiate printing with {Ctrl + P}, are you able to select that printer in the Printer - Name box?

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.

HP Officejet 4620 won't copy or scan but will print

My HP Officejet 4620 all in one printer won't copy or scan, but it will print. When trying to scan, my computer first shows a window "preparing to scan" then it changes to a window "scanner unreachable". When trying to copy the printer indicates "now copying page 1/1" but it never produces a copy. The light never goes across the flat glass, photographing the image to be scanned or copied.

Hello @Alan_Mc,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document it states scanner unreachable and you cannot copy a document either. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on A 'Scanner Unreachable' or 'An error occurred while scanning' Message Displays when Scanning on the ....
Since you cannot copy a document either, there might be something wrong with the scanner glass. Also, the light doesn't appear. If so, then follow this entire HP document on A 'Scanner Failure' Message Displays on the All-in-One Control Panel and You Cannot Scan, Copy, or F...

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

I'm on a mac and my printer won't print

I'm on a mac and it sends the document to my printer (Hp Photosmart 4680 all in one) but the printer won't print. My printer has been working just fine and now it won't print. Am I doing something wrong. This happened once before and I got frustrated with and left it for about 2 days, I had tried everything I could think of, unplugging for an hour or more, uninstalling and reinstalling, checked ink levels they were fine. Then all of a sudden it started to work again. I just turned on my computer and printer and amazingly it just started to print. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do? Or does anyone have any suggestions of what I may be doing wrong!
Thanks

Do you have HP software installed (in your Applications folder)? If so and you got it from the printer CD, let's get rid of it:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Now, run a Software Update.
Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.

After upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print

after upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print. It's a canon MP540 on a wireless network. It will print a test page but won't print from any application, just sits there with the message 'copying print data'!
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), with firmware SMC Version (system): 1.73f63.
Any help gratefully received.

First off if you can print a test page there is absolutely no reason you wouldn't be able to print from a application...none. But stranger things have happened now that we have Lion. Within the application are you selecting the wireless printer........just had to check.
I have the MP620 which is simlar to your MP540 and have no problems printing from my MBA (June 2011). I too have the latest firmware and software......without problems printing.
A few things I'd try would be to remove the wireless printer from your computer (in Preferences, printers), restart, and repair permissions. Then add the wireless printer back, and see if it works. If not.....power OFF the printer and turn back on.
If the above fails reinstall the printer driver (yours) I think you will have to plug in the USB cable.
Keep me updated and I'll tyr and help!

F380 printer won't print PDF or Doc files

My printer won't print Docx files sent through email. It also has trouble printing PDF documents. It quits after the first page, and no matter what I do won't print the other pages. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows Vista. I tried HP print doctor, but it couldn't find the problem. I went to the HP site but found no new drivers for my exact printer, and a warning that if I uninstalled my current driver and installed one of theirs, they wouldn't provide any support, since my OS is older than Windows7. I noticed that the person sending me these files has windows 10 installed on his computer. (For what it's worth.) Printer works fine otherwise. Thanks!

HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents & envelope problem

My HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents until i send another document, then it will print the last page of the previous document, but omit the last page of the current document. I need to keep printing a blank page or any other page to get my previous documents completely printed. Also, the envelopes print with large rectangular boxes on them and no address (I don't know if this is a result of the previous stated problem or not - it started happening at the same time) I use the envelope feature in Microsoft Word 2010. I never used to have either of these problems - didn't make any changes to the system or add any software to the computer, so I know it's not that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
