Setting your printer as the "Default Printer" setting is crucial for giving your printer the correct instructions. Follow these steps from the HP printer troubleshooting guide to reset your printer to default settings:

·        On the following screen, choose the HP printer option, right-click it, and then choose "set as default printer" to continue.

2. Use HP Driver Easy to Update Faulty and Outdated Drivers      

The best option if your HP printer won't print text or if you're having other problems printing documents is to update or reinstall your printer driver. You can do this quickly by taking the following actions:

·        Open the dialogue box by selecting the Search option and typing "run."

·        In the dialogue box that appears, type "devmgmt.msc" and then click "OK."

·        The Windows device manager will then appear on your screen.

·        Now, double-click on the "print queues" category to expand it, as seen in the image below.

·        In the context menu that appears when you right-click a printer name in this category, choose "update driver."

·        Finally, after waiting for the update download to complete, follow the on-screen directions.

3. Review the HP Printer Spooler Error and attempt to fix it.

The print spooler makes it simple for the PC to interact with the printer and handle the print jobs waiting in the queue. The error message "printer spooler error" will appear when the printer cannot accept any of your print commands because the print job is stuck in the queue. Follow the steps listed below to fix this mistake. –

·        Close all of the programmes, including Word and any others, before attempting to print with the printer.

·        Type "Administrative Tools" into the "Start" search box, then select "Services."

·        Then find "Print Spooler" by moving down the list. Right-click now, and then choose "Stop."

·        After that, open "My Computer" and choose the "Windows" folder by double-clicking "Local Disk (C:)"

·        Folder "System32" > "spool" > "Printers"

·        Next, delete all print jobs contained in this folder.

·        Return to "Services," search for "print spooler," and then right-click on it. Select the "Start" option now.

·        Now try printing a test page to see if the HP printer fault has been resolved after restarting the spooler.
