Printing stopped with November upgrade

Hey Prestonpdx,

I would suggest you check if the print spooler is running. Start/Stop print spooler service. Follow the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + R, type services.msc
  and press Enter.
  
• 
  From the list, locate Print Spooler service.
  
• 
  Double click on the service and select Stop.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, repeat step 1&2.
  
• 
  Double click on the service and check if the service is started.
  

Get back to us with the updated status, we’ll be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

Hi Friend,

Please try to following trouble shooting Steps:

HP OfficeJet 4650 stopped printing in colour and automatic duplex printing

I am having 2 issues which I suspect are both connected......

1) Printer stopped printing in colour.

- I have several times uninstalled and reinstalled printer and print drivers, both from HP website and CD.

- Printer is able to print in colour - I can print proper test page and copy in colour - it is NOT a colour cartridge or printer hardware issue.

- in Programs, only the Basic Device Software is showing up - not full features which is what I've been downloading

- in printer properties, advanced - there is NO option coming up "print in greyscale" to turn off, so don't suggest this step

- this has happened before and uninstalling and reinstalling with CD worked....this time, not so much.

**I URGENTLY need to print in colour .....very upset about this!

2) Printer has stopped automatically duplex printing

- this happened before and uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it

- only shows options for manual duplex printing where you have to take the sheets and reinsert them

- I've gone into printer properties, device settings and Automatic Duplexing unit shows "Not Installed". I can get it to show "Installed" by Updating in Automatic Configuration but when I exit and go back in, it is always back to "not installed".

- Automatic duplex printing was one of the main reasons I chose this printer.

Any help with either of these issues appreciated, but colour issue is very URGENT!

Thank you
