Hi @Susin8,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

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

 

Try these steps:

Check Printer Status and Connection

  • Ensure the printer is turned on and the Ready light is illuminated.
  • Verify the USB or network connection between your printer and computer is secure.
  • Try using a different USB cable or a different port on your computer.

Update Printer Firmware

  • Windows: Download and install the latest firmware from the HP Support website.
  • Mac OS: Use HP Utility to update the firmware.

Printer Driver Check

  • Ensure you have the latest printer driver installed. Go to HP Drivers and Downloads to download the latest driver for your DeskJet 2820e.

Windows:

  • Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click on your HP DeskJet 2820e and select Printer Properties.
  • Navigate to the Advanced tab and ensure Print directly to the printer is selected.

Mac OS:

  • Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
  • Select your HP DeskJet 2820e and click Options & Supplies.
  • Adjust the print settings to ensure smooth operation.

Disable Pause Feature

  • Check if the pause/restart behavior is controlled by any printer features. Disable pause settings from the printer software or control panel.

Paper Settings Adjustment

  • Make sure the paper settings in your print job match the paper you are using. Use the correct paper type and size settings.

I hope this helps.
