Every time I print, it tells me there isn't any paper in the paper tray when there is. I have removed the paper and put a different stack in, I have cleaned the rollers....I'm at my wits end and NEED to print a document ASAP.
Please help!

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Sometimes an error persists even though there is no paper feed issue. Reset the printer, and then try to print.
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
-
Unplug the power cord from the power source.
-
Wait 60 seconds.
-
Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
NOTE: HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
Try to print. If the error persists, continue to the next step.
Clean the paper tray rollers under the printer
-
Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord and any other cables.
WARNING: You must disconnect the power cord before reaching inside the printer to avoid risk of injuries or electric shock.
-
Pull out the paper tray or trays, and then set them aside.
-
Carefully lift the printer and set it on its side to expose the paper rollers underneath the printer.
-
Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.
-
Clean the rollers with a damp cloth.
-
Allow the rollers to dry completely (approximately 10 minutes).
-
Set the printer upright.
-
Reinsert the paper tray or trays.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
