Hi @Sneeze3014_23 

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If your HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e printer is stuck on "Validating, please wait," here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Restart the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait about 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.

Check for Firmware Updates:

  • Make sure your printer's firmware is up to date. You can do this through the HP Smart app or by visiting the HP support website.

Clear Print Queue:

  • On your computer, go to Devices and Printers, right-click your printer, and select See what's printing. Cancel any pending jobs that might be causing the issue.

Check Network Connection:

  • Ensure your printer is connected to the network properly. If using Wi-Fi, confirm that it’s on the same network as your computer.

Reset the Printer:

  • If the problem persists, try performing a factory reset on the printer. This will erase all settings, so you may need to set it up again afterward.

Use HP Smart App:

  • Open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device. See if it recognizes the printer and allows you to perform any actions.

Check for Hardware Issues:

  • Inspect the printer for any error messages or warning lights. Ensure there are no paper jams or ink issues.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
