Hi @RChaudhuri,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

What is the ink level on the cartridges?

Are you able to make copies using the printer?

 

Let's try a power reset on the printer

 

Reset the product

 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Wait at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  • Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

 

Align the printer

 

For best print quality, align the ink cartridges.

  1. Load plain white paper in the paper tray.

  2. On the printer control panel, press the down arrow  to select Align Printer, and then press OK.

    The printer prints a test page, and then prompts you to scan the page.

  3. Place the alignment page with the print side down on the scanner glass. Position it according to the engraved guides around the glass.

  4. Close the scanner lid, and then touch OK.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
