Solved: Printer default error - HP Support Community

Humptulips · ‎10-23-2018

My printer is not working on the internet. I have tried unplugging the computer and printer for 30 seconds and it still does not work. In settings the printer shows default, error. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thank you.

Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

I have gone through your Post and I would like to help

Is the Printer connected to your network already? Are both the printer and computer on the same network?

Please download and run the HP Print And Scan Doctor from this Link: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/hppsdr/HPPSdr.exe

On the Welcome screen, click Start to view a list of available printers.
Select your printer in the list, and then click Next.

If your printer is not listed or a connection problem is detected, click My product is not listed or select your connection type, follow the on-screen instructions, and then click Retry.
Click either Fix Printing or Fix Scanning.

If you are prompted to install the printer software, follow the on-screen instructions. The software can resolve many printer issues.
Review the list of test results, and then resolve any issues found.
- If you see a checkmark, the printer passed the test.
- If you see a wrench, HP Print and Scan Doctor found an issue and repaired it.
- If you see an exclamation point, the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
- If you see an X, follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.

You can refer to this Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03286146

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊
