Tried from different laptops & IPad that used to work....nuttin... HP5500 series...... HELP!!
I would start by reinstalling the driver. Whenever I have printer issues that is the first thing I do. It will probably install a new one and when you look at the list you will have two (one will say copy). When you print select the one that says copy of. I recently had issues and this fixed mine. Hope this helps.
