I have the same problem with HP LaserJet P1006 and Windwos 8.1. I have followed all the suggestions on this forum, including uninstalling and reinstalling, using both the original installation disk and the new downloaded drivers. Device Manager and and HP Print and Scan Doctor report that the printer is fully functional. The only problem is -- it doesn't print. No word processor or other printing software actually produces a hard copy page.
This is my utility, everyday printer, which worked flawlessly until Windows 8.1 assassinated it.
Any help will be most appreciated.
