I must have done over 50 searches for my issue in google. One gal indicated she fixed it by downloading an additional driver - at printer properties /advanced. I had already updated all drivers multiple times and used HP fix doctor. Nothing helped. But I did as she suggested - actually windows? went out and found a specific driver and it fixed it!

Wow - I've never fixed anything quite so complicated before! Ready for a beer and a puff.

Thanks, Cane!
