    HP 3050 printer

    Fax and scan working fine. I have another 3050, so it's not the drivers as the other machine is working full function.

    I start with a green check mark next to the device and no prints in queue. Attempt to print and a status error occurs along with the yellow warning sign next to the printer icon. I cannot see anything suspicious in the config printout. Troubleshoot function will state print in the queue and state the problem is fixed (green check next to icon), but viewing the queue the print job is still there. Deleting the print job first will also give me the okay as well, but no success. Under services turning the spooler on and off, no help. I've attached the print config and any help or direction would be appreciated. If you think it's just hardware, please let me know as well and thanks in advance.

    Although simple, did you power cycle the printer? Is it attached USB, network, wireless, or otherwise?

    Certainly did. I have the benefit of an identical printer using same USB cable and same computer, working just fine.
