Do I need new cartridges if I haven’t used printer in a year and had cancelled my ink account

[MsTinklebottom]

I need to know if I haven’t used my HPDeskJet series 2700 in almost a year and my account was canceled a year ago how do I go about getting thing’s running again. It never worked right before because silly me didn’t know that wi-fi and internet are 2 completely different things. Anyway now I have internet but can’t connect and when it does show signs of life it prints blank pages. Any ideas will be helpful.

Hi @MsTinklebottom,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing an issue with yourHP DeskJet 2755 All-In-One Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist you better:

• Which iOS device are you using?
• Is the blue Wi-Fi light blinking on the printer?
• What is the current version of iOS installed on your device?
• How far is the printer located from the WiFi router?
• Do you have a dual-band router?
• If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.
   

Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
