I have a printer failure, it keeps stating there's a problem with the printer or printer system turn off the printer unplugged and plug in the power cord and turn on the printer again. I've done this multiple times and I still can't get it to come on. It was working fine I just installed a brand new HP cyan printer cartridge and it hasn't worked since then

@DIDI2320, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Printer Failure! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

When a printer displays a message indicating a system problem, it often reviews automatically basic troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. Since you've already tried unplugging and restarting the printer, here are a few additional steps you can consider:

 

Check the Ink Cartridges:

  • Ensure that the new cyan ink cartridge is properly installed. Remove it and reinstall it, making sure it "clicks" into place securely.
  • Verify that you are using genuine HP cartridges which are compatible with your printer model.

Inspect for Obstructions:

  • Open the printer carriage area and inspect for any obstructions or jammed paper. Remove any debris or paper, and ensure the carriage can move freely.

Reset the Printer:

  • Disconnect the power cable from the printer while it is still on.
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Wait for at least 60 seconds, then plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and then into the printer.
  • Turn on the printer again to check if the issue persists.

Perform a Hard Reset:

  • Remove all the ink cartridges.
  • Unplug the printer while it is still on and wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and reinstall the cartridges once it powers on.

Update Printer Firmware:

  • If possible, connect your printer to a computer and check for any firmware updates via HP's official website or the printer’s built-in functions.

Check Connection:

  • Ensure that all cables are securely connected and that there are no loose connections.   

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
