Hi! @Lily12, Welcome to HP forums.
I understand when you print from your printer you are getting error printing message.
Don't worry I'll try to help you out.
Did you make any changes to your printer?
Are you able to make a copy from your printer?
Is your printer connected by wired or wireless connection?
As you mentioned when you print from your printer you are getting error printing message.
Please provide the operating system you are running on your PC to assist you better.
Try the steps recommended below.
1. Press the Power button on the printer to turn it off.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
4. Turn off the computer.
5. Wait for 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
7. Wait for 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready
8. Turn the computer back on.
9. Wait for the computer to reload
10. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
11. Turn the printer back on.
Try printing a Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page.
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
Load U.S. Letter or A4 size, unused, plain paper into the input tray.
Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
Open or search for the HP folder in your list of installed software programs, click the folder for your printer, and then click the name of your printer.
The HP Printer Assistant software opens.

Click the Device Reports tab, and then click Print Diagnostic Information ().

In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
Click on Drivers tab.
