HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One Printer

I get an Error Message that the printer needs intervention.  At first, I thought it was a driver problem on my tower but I tried to print on my laptop, both running win 10, and received the same error message.  This leads me to think it is something in the printer.  If I run the Printer Troubleshooter, the application runs to completion and the print job is completed.  There is no error found with the troubleshooter. The Firmware version is SPP5FN2223AR.

I just ran a printer Status Report with no problem.

 

Any suggestions?

Thank you, I was in confusion about what the intervention should be because there was no error message from printer that stated the usual reasons.
