Hello, I’m just trying to print out a shipping label from my I phone, out from my HP Envy printer.. I’ve turned the Internet on and off, unplugged the back of the printer and the wall plug, and plug them back in. I continue to get a message that says “ Service station stalled “ Press the OK button to have the printer automatically attempt it recovery process ... I hit ok and the ink cartridges inside move back-and-forth and then it makes a very not pleasant noise. And then the same message shows up again ???? Any help! THANK YOU!
