Hi @tjtax,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand Printer failure can be caused by various issues such as connectivity problems, paper jams, or hardware malfunctions. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

• Check Connectivity: Ensure that the printer is properly connected to the power source and to your computer or network. If it's a wireless printer, make sure it's connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.
• Restart Printer: Turn off the printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor issues.
• Check for Paper Jams: Open the printer cover and check for any paper jams or obstructions. If you find any, carefully remove the paper.
• Check Ink Cartridges: Make sure the ink cartridges are properly installed and have sufficient ink levels. Replace any empty cartridges if necessary.
• Update Printer Drivers: Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. You can usually download them from the manufacturer's website. Update the firmware on an HP printer
• Reset Printer: Some printers have a reset option in the settings menu. You can try resetting the printer to its default settings to see if that resolves the issue.
• Clean Printer Heads: If you're experiencing print quality issues, such as streaks or smudges, you may need to clean the printer heads. Most printers have a cleaning utility in the settings menu.
