HP Officejet Pro 8715 Printer won't copy or print other than status reports

[Cab81]

Hi, I have 2 year old Officejet Pro 8715. It isn't printing or copying but does print status reports. How do I fix this?

Thank you

@Cab81, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

• Do you get any errors on the printer while trying to print or making copies?
• Does it produce a blank sheet of paper?

If the printer is able to print test pages, it means the hardware of the printer is working fine. Let us try these steps:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

Clean the printhead

1. On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setup icon .

2. Swipe up on the display, and then touch Printer Maintenance.

3. Touch Clean Printhead, and then touch Continue.

4. If the print quality is unacceptable, touch Clean Again to continue the next level of cleaning. Repeat these steps for the third cleaning stage, if necessary.

   NOTE: If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes before you perform all three levels of cleaning again.

Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page

On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, touch the Setup icon , swipe up on the display, touch Reports, and then touch Print Quality Report.

Also, try to make a copy on the printer using the scanner glass.

On the PC, Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and fix any driver issue
