Hi @Tanya125
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query.
I understand that your HP ENVY 5055 displays"Cannot Print" or refuses to print, the most common causes are a paper jam, ink cartridge issue, connection problem, or a stuck print queue. I would request you to please share me the picture of the error displayed. Meanwhile, I would request you to please follow the steps:
Restart the printer
- Turn the printer off.
- Unplug the power cord from the printer and wall outlet.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Plug it back in and turn it on.
Check for printer errors
Look for:
- Paper jams
- Empty paper tray
- Low or missing ink cartridges
- Flashing lights on the control panel
Verify ink cartridges
- Open the cartridge access door.
- Remove and firmly reinstall both cartridges.
- Ensure the protective tape has been removed from new cartridges.
- Replace any empty or defective cartridges if necessary.
Print a self-test page
- If the printer can print its own reports but not from your computer/phone, the issue is likely with the connection or driver rather than the printer hardware. Click Here
Check the print queue
- On Windows:
- Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners → HP ENVY 5055
- Open print queue
- Cancel all pending jobs
- Try printing again.
Hope this helps, Please revert if the issue persists.
Take care and have an amazing day!
