hp printer won't print

[Vic]

It's connected, it will scan, it will copy, but trying to print nothing is going to the printer (not showing in the print queue). I've tried the full driver download, the easystart option, I've restarted Windows 10, and nowt.
It's a photosmart C3180.

Is it connected via wireless or cable? If WiFi then connect it via a cable and go through set-up again.

Try saving the thing you want to print as a pdf & try again. Sometimes that works for me.

My printer is fine mate but as someone who never reads instructions I had problems setting it up as I didn't connect it via a cable first.

I don't know how to fix it, but I had a HP printer a while ago and their technical support online were very helpful. Send them a message.

HP print doctor has always worked for me, if not drop kick it.

If it scans and copies then it shouldn't be a communication issue.

Check where you are printing to on the drop-down menu in the print dialogue box.

Sometimes print to PDF is set as the default print option; especially if you installed your MS Office (or whatever you are printing from) software before you got your printer.

Thanks for that. It worked - without saying what it fixed... Odd that the HP site didn't readily give that link. But thanks again.
