Accepted solution by Bo Banerjee — ok so if only PDFs fail, try Print as image in the PDF readers advanced print settings as a workaround while u fix the driver.

    so annoyed rn my label printer is printing one line of code per page.

    USB Audio Device Properties

Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    It started after teh driver update from HP. Ive lost a lot of paper and patience. Ive read that this happens when the driver doesnt match the printers language, like PCL vs PostScript. How do i check what language my drvier is using and which one teh printer expects?? Id rather not waste another stack of paper testing. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    ok so on the Advanced tab, untick Enable advanced printing features as a test. Some drivers produce corrupted output with EMF spooilng. lmk how it goes

    hmm idk disabling advanced printing featuers can slow down large jobs. Only keep it off if it helps. just my 2 cents
