What do you need a printer for? Never seen the bother myself, last I checked paper and pen will still do it just fine - once you get the muscle memory going with a bit of practice you'll be fine

Done all that and everything seems to work - test print etc. until I try to print a doc and it says "printer off line"

Sometimes a machine is the best thing for the job, which is why I've got a combi, mortice, pillar drill etc.

Let’s take it apart to see what’s inside….
Printers do more than just text.
For example, I have just printed and laminated a map to take with me when walking in the moors later this week also drawing photos would be a challenge.

Try it with the generic postscript driver, it should work fine and rule out any HP driver janky-ness

What was wrong with using a goose feather quill and ink made from oak galls?It was the traditional way before these modern gadgets started spreading. ;-)

So you don't use a biro or a pencil at all?
Actually on the gadget issue I reckon the "mechanical" pencil is a "gadget" and inferior in use to the old wooden ones. Taken me some years to work that out. They look so clever and useful!
OTOH a mechanical pencil sharpener is very handy.
Useless gadgets are everywhere but not always that easy to identify! It's a major industry as you can see at a glance in tool catalogues.
I often find I have a problem with my mac, more when I try to scan than print, but my phone always seems to work. If you have a iPhone or similar can you pull your document up on that and try printing it that way. Always seems to work for me.

I have an HP A3 printer which works with phones, Macs and my Dell PC. However since upgrading to Windows 11 it won’t print in colour from the PC, but still fine from everything else. Just can’t figure out why. It’s nothing obvious either.

I use a dough sheeter (if just for only one or two, a regular rolling pin) to roll clay flat and write on it with a triangular tipped stick. Good enough for the ancients....good enough for me.
