After unplugging my printer to move it to replace a desk my Printer no longer properly turns on. It will power on display "checking the printer please wait" for a while then the screen will go blank and will not respond in any way. I don't know what to do. I only bought the printer a few months ago and have only printed about 100-150 pages.

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.
