Printing issues

[Alyssa15]

My printer reads “printer needs paper” not allowing me to print. There’s plenty of paper. Unsure how to resolve this issue. Please help

@Alyssa15, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand you are not able to print due to this error. Make sure the papers are properly loaded in the input tray. Refer to - Loading Paper, Cards, Envelopes

Which device are you using to print?

Try making a standalone copy and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

Let us try these steps:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
