Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Reset the printer to clear certain error states, and then check the power source to make sure the printer is getting enough power to operate the copier.
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the power source, and then wait 30 seconds.
-
If you are using a power strip or multi-plug adapter, connect the cord directly to a wall outlet to make sure the printer is getting enough power.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the printer, and then try making a copy.
-
If the issue persists, connect the printer to a different wall outlet to determine if the original outlet is causing the issue.
-
If the issue persists using a different wall outlet.
-
Did you try changing the ink cartridges?
Let me know if this helps.
