cannot turn off printing.

[howard182]

Tried to print a document. Priner then would not stop printing. After about 70 pages I manged to switch it off at the mains.

After several aborted attempts it still continued with the job in hand, spewing out more paper.

Tried a factory reset (as per instructions). Message: Cannot reset due to job in progress.

Any ideas?   Thanks.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, 

Let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

• 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 USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, 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 to 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. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

It was the 30 second button hold down that fooled me, Now works O.K.  Thanks.
