Welcome to the HP support community.

Clean the rollers from inside the ink cartridge access area

1. Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord and any other cables.

      WARNING: 

   You must disconnect the power cord before reaching inside the printer to avoid risk of injuries or electric shock.

2. Open the ink cartridge access door.

3. Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.

4. Move the carriage all the way to the right, if necessary.

5. Press the cloth against the rollers inside the printer, and then rotate the rollers upwards with your fingers. Apply a moderate amount of pressure to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

6. Allow the rollers to dry completely (approximately 10 minutes).

7. Close the ink cartridge access door.

8. Reconnect the power cord and any other cables to the rear of the printer, and then turn on the printer.

Perform a power reset

1. Turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Wait at least 30 seconds.
