This might happen if your system has lost the driver of that printer. Printer driver might lost by your system if your system has any kind of virus. This virus directly attack on this driver because this is the only medium by which your system give a command to printer, so just reinstall that driver properly but before scan your system with any updated anti-virus, I hope after trying this solution you might get satisfy.

You might face this problem if you have not installed the proper version of driver on different operating system. If your system which is in the laptop has 64 resolution of bit and you have installed 32 bit of versions printer driver and same in computer also, due to this reason you might have to suffer from this problem. So fix this problem just install compatible versions of driver, I wish that it work on your system.

---- There are some possibility that if in any cases your system has lost the path of network means by which this printer is shared among this network. To fix this problem you have you have to create new printer setup from network place, this option you will find in control panel. First remove you old printer and then ADD new printer wizard and follow the instruction which is shown on your screen. I am not so sure that it will fulfill your requirement, but has some possibility to fix this problem, so just do as I say to you, you can solve this problem.

I think I have some information by which you can solve this error, problem. I got same error message and I had tried to solve this by simply making my system to last restore point, but unfortunately it won’t work out there. To fix this situation I have called hardware engineer, and you know what, he has solve this problem. He has replaced my connector and reinstall that printer driver again in both systems manually. He has also deleted one of the file that I don’t know properly, but here is your chance by which you can solve this problem. So just think on this suggestion and call nay hardware engineer, you might get your proper solution.

If you are using bad connector by which your printer is connected to computer. You solve this problem for that you have to follow some step, by which you can solve this error. First uninstall the driver from server side, I am telling you this because it is possible that faulty driver may cause this error, delete the content manually at client side, the path is “C: \ Windows \ System32 \ spool \ drivers \ w32x86 \ 3" to delete the c” navigate registry key for this item on client side system “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Print \ Environments \ Windows NT x86 \ Drivers \ Version-3 \” this is respective type of printer driver, in that you will find the entry process and the value for that dependent files just remove HPZBDI32.msi, once when you done with this, you will see that your printer is working fine on you system and exactly like your requirement. From my side I have only this solution, try this I hope this might work on your system.
