    I have windows Xp and a HP720 it test prints but then won't print out
    I have a wireless Toshiba laptop hooked up to my HP 720 series printer (not wireless) after numerous hours finally got it to test print out a page only in color. After many suggestions I have deleted and reinstalled the HP printer and drivers and that is how I got the test page printed out. I also tried temporarily turning off all firewalls, this did not help. The printer says on idle when I try to print but it does say ready when I test print. Any help? :(
    Thanks Luckster

    Go to Printers and faxes, printers and make sure that this printer is the default printer.

    Curious, how is the printer connected to the laptop?

    Okay, that doesn't quite help me.

    Arte you using a USB port (4 pin flat plug), Parallel port (25 pin female in a D shaped connector), Serial Port ( 9 or 25 pin male)
