My HP Envy 7640 series printer will no longer print for me. The prompt says, “printer validation failed.” I assume some settings were adjusted in an auto update. Suggestions? I have been printing wirelessly to get around this, but must spend the time now to fix it. Big hassle to throw everything into an email and print the email.
