@nailsea12c Greetings from the HP Community!

Do you get any error messages? 

Does the copier work as a stand-alone device?

 

Meanwhile, please try the below steps to resolve cartridge related issues:

 

Step 1: Verify the ink cartridge numbers

Make sure the ink cartridge numbers match your printer and country/region.

Go to HP Store, and then verify the ink cartridge numbers for your printer model and country/region. Replace any incompatible ink cartridges.

If the error persists, continue to the next step.

 

Step 2: Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer failures.

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.

  2. Unplug the power cord from the power source.

  3. Wait 60 seconds.

  4. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

    NOTE: 

    HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

  5. Turn the printer on.

If the error persists, continue to the next step.
