Hello, I have attempted several times to use my printer, an HP990. Everthing says it is there. it is has identified the model and even that it can print on both sides. But when I send the document to the printer it never prints. I've looked for spoolers but find none. I know it is something simple and will continue to look. If someone can point me in a direction I appreciate it. thanks
