Error message: Document Failed to Print

Printer( HP DeskJet 5550 InkJet Printer) won't direct paper into printer. I start to print and the paper will go in 1/8 of an inch to start the print job and then the paper is bounced back out. I get the error message, "Document Failed To Print" and no more information regardless of what I try to print. Print jobs load up in the queue. Deleted print jobs. Checked for paper jam and cannot find anything. Printer has sufficient amount of toner. Have tried turning the printer on and off and rebooting the computer. Printer is 5 years old but has had minimum use over time. Cover is over it when not in use so dust has not collected on/in the printer.

There's a row of buttons on the front - on the right as you face the printer. The lowest one is the power button.

I have hp deskjet 5550 printer,when i was trying to print a document there is no print out, two lights are blinking

Hi, This could be Low-Ink or paper Jam. Try turning off The printer, Unplug from The Mains Electric, for 3-5 Minutes. Turn back On, if Lights Are Still There. Check The Ink-Levels. And Replace Cartridges, if necessary.

Deskjet 5550; Windows 7; Microsoft Office 2007; not printing

That is strange
Try changing the default to a different printer (Microsoft XPS Document Writer) see if it prints to it...

Then (If that works) try switching the 5550 back to default.

If that don't do it, uninstall thee printer, reboot and reinstall the printer.

Using XP, my HP Deskjet 5550 printer allowed me to set margins of 0.5 inches and the document printed correctly. With my new Vista 64-bit OS, I get a message that the margins are outside the printable area...

Try when the message comes up click on print anyway. I have to do this with my printer sometimes and when I click print anyway and do not try to correct it prints fine.
