Hi Xavier,

Thank you for the details shared.

The Printer might be stuck in an error state -

Please perform the following step exactly as mentioned -

Power Drain:
Remove all the ink cartridges and paper, then try to perform a Power Drain on the printer.

a. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and unplug it from the wall outlet.
b. Remove the USB cable, if present.
c. Wait for 2-3 minutes and press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
d. Now plug back the power cable straight into a wall outlet (without any surge protector or extension cord) and then plug it back into the printer.
e. Turn on the printer and wait for the warm-up period to finish and the printer to be idle.
f. Now insert the ink cartridges and try printing a test document to check if it works.
