HP M254 - Prints paper with nothing on it; Print failure error

[pdf61]

I printed a test sheet. It printed nice but the screen says there was a print issue and if it happens again, reboot. This happens also when printing wirelessly, the paper comes out but nothing or only some stuff gets printed and I get the same print issue error. I've rebooted many times.

@pdf61,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I will need a few more details.

• When was the last time the printer was working fine?
• Are you facing the same issue when you make a copy?
• What is the operating system you are using?
• Have you made any software or hardware changes on the computer?
• Have you performed any troubleshooting steps before posting?

While you respond to that, I recommend follow the below steps and check if it helps.

1.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.

2.Remove USB cable, if present.

3.Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.

4.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.

5.Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
