Printer not installed

[Erlaps]

Something is wrong with my printer. One day when i wanted to print something it told me that ''Printer not installed''. Ok, i reinstalled Drivers for my printer and that does not fix the problem.

Things i did to try fix this problem:

• Reinstalled drivers
• set this printer as default printer
• restarted printer/pc
• changed usb ports

But none of these thing fixes problem. 

 

my printer is HP deskjet 3055A

Do you still have the software disk?

Nope but there are drivers from the internet

I have that printer with the color screen, it is totally evil.

You have to install the HP software to get it to work. 

Sometimes drivers will work, but not always.

So disk includes something that drivers dont? maybe i need to reinstall firmware?

There is a HP control center thing, it allowed me to print wireless. The new HP printers don't require this, but around the time yours and mine were made, they required the HP control center.
