Ran out of paper and old paper got stuck. All out now but nothing works no matter what I try. Only get HP printer message says
"PRINTER FAILURE" There is a problem with printer or ink system. Turn printer off , then on. If problem persists, contact HP."
What a joke can call anyone and can't print either. Even virtual chat help doesn't work. Help

Hi @LauraBethJack,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I understand that you are facing issues with Printer failure. I'd like to help!
To assist better:
- Are you using genuine HP ink cartridges?
- Was there any recent update on the printer prior to the issue?
- Was there any paper jam or carriage jam issue on the printer recently?
While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove the USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, and press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight into a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till the warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
