Lil_Lisa27,
Thank you so very much for replying. I have some new information to add to my original post and the results of attempting to follow your reply.
We went out and purchased a HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One Series printer and a HP Pavilion 10 TouchSmart Notebook PC. After setting up the Printer and the Notebook, we were able to print to the J110a printer from the Notebook and to wirelessly print from the Pavilion dv7 to the Envy 4500 - the very documents I was trying to print from the dv7 to the J110a! No mess, no fuss.
Now, I was unable to print the test page per the instructions. When I got clicking on the "Icon for my HP Product" I got a windoe asking, "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" (USBSetup.exe) A "Yes" leads to a HP Deskjet1000 J110 Series windo "Printer Setup & Software" with "Connect a new printer" and "Add more software." Neither choice leads to a test page. I am unable to get to a "Printer Actions" choice....
Since I was unable to perform what you called "the first task," I am hesitant to proceed. And, you next task is to acertain why I am not able to print from from my notebook. I am able to print from my dv7 - just not to the J110a!
I breathlessly await you next reply...
Thanks again!
