Using the built-in test function of the machine, the printer can work normally, but it cannot communicate with the PC normally. Uninstall and reinstall the driver and all associated software, and the problem remains. Helpless, call HP customer service, customer service staff told the problem cannot be determined, can only use the following methods to try. Because the telephone is far from the machine, it is not convenient to operate. After two calls to customer service, the P2055d can finally be printed.
