@fixitguy1, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
If the product does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.
Open the product and remove any jammed sheets of paper.
Load the tray with the correct size of paper for your job.
Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the product control panel.
Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the appropriate indentation in the tray.
Check the product control panel to see if the product is waiting for you to acknowledge a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper, and continue.
The pickup roller and separation pad might be contaminated.
Restart the Printer
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
3. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back in.
5. Turn on the printer.
Run HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows only):

Update Printer Firmware (Update the firmware on an HP printer | HP® Support)
