Unable to Print From MS Word and Other Applications

Question
-
Hi,
I am trying to print from various Windows XP SP3 machines on a school domain that has a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Server. The type of printer is a HP Officejet 8000 A809 Series Printer. When I try printing from Word 2010 it just doesn't work, you get the printing icon in the notification area for a few seconds but then it disappears with no notice and nothing comes out of the printer. This problem also occurs with Adobe Reader documents too, but a test page can be printed and you can also print from WordPad. The Server has the Server 2008 64-bit driver and a universal type driver for good measure, both added via the print management tool. At the school there are also Windows 7 32-bit OSs installed and they can print with no problems, I have tried re-installing drivers but any driver I come across for this printer is the same as the one that I already have installed.
I will try to post this in the most relevant forum, excuse me if this is incorrect.

Hi,
i had this problem too. But i think i have found the solution for this problem.
First delete the HP OfficeJet 8000 Pro from the server (Win 2008 R2 64 bit in my case) + the drivers.
Download this ones from HP site:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL40119/bi-97844-1/OJP8000vA809_Corporate_64bit_14.exe
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL40119/bi-97843-1/OJP8000vA809_Corporate_14.exe
Install the printer using 64bit driver for Win 2k8 then add extra x86 drivers for Windows XP clients.
Then open properties of the printer and go to preferences and change paper size to A4 ( Legal 8,5 is default paper size after installation). Next go to advenced and click Printing defaults and also change the paper size to A4.
After this few steps HP OfficeJet 8000 Pro started to work properly on Windows XP desktops.Best regards,
