@SaifPial, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

Are you trying to install the printer using HP Easy Start?

 

Lets us try to perform a hard reset and see if that helps-

  1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
  2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
  3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  5. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
  8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
  9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed

Additionally, Update the printer firmware

Download available firmware updates from the HP website

With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates.

For more information, go to Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware.

 

Now, try installing the printer. 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

This looks like a hardware issue.

 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Hope this helps!
