Aghgh! My HP 2430 has decided to not print. Everything I send there errors out instantly!
Any suggestions? TIA!

If that doesn't work,
you may have to uninstall and install.

Is it connected by USB cable, or is it connected to an Ethernet router?

Re: USB
Did you recently unplug the USB, then plug it back in? I did that the other day to take my laptop somewhere and had the same problem. Turned out that I had accidentally plugged the USB into a USB 3.0 port and the printer didn't like that. I moved it back to where it was and it started working again. I hope your solution is as easy as that!

Mine quit working after Windows 7 did an update. My computer no longer recognizes the printer as a USB device. I've tried everything and nothing has worked so far. If you find a solution to your problem please let me know.

Uninstall and reinstall the printer and drivers. Alternatively, uninstall the last update that cause the problem.

I had the exact same issue, I called Intrex where I've done a lot of business. They said HP is making it harder to download the drivers for the older printers. Someone brought in their new laptop with Windows 7 and the 2430 to them. It took them 12 hours to finally get it installed.
I finally gave up and bought a new printer.
