I've unplugged and reset the computer and printer. Still says Printer Cannot Print. I have changed all depleted cartridges with HP as usual and still won't print a doc

Hi @Jude621,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand your HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e still won't print after replacing the cartridges and resetting both the printer and computer, here are a few additional troubleshooting steps to try:
Check Printer Status and Queue:
- Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
- Select your HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e and click on Open queue. Ensure there are no pending or stuck print jobs.
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor: HP Print and Scan Doctor
- Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
- It can diagnose and fix many common printing issues automatically.
Ensure the Printer is Set as Default:
- In Printers & scanners, ensure your HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e is set as the default printer.
Check for Updates: Update the firmware on an HP printer
- Ensure your printer firmware is up to date. Go to the HP website or use the HP Smart app to check for updates.
Reinstall Printer Drivers:
- Uninstall the printer from Printers & scanners.
- Download the latest drivers from the HP Support website and reinstall them.
Check Ink Cartridges and Printhead:
- Even though you’ve replaced the cartridges, double-check that they are installed correctly and that the protective tape has been removed.
- Clean the printhead if necessary. Instructions can usually be found in the printer's manual or on HP's support site.
Network Issues:
- If you're using a wireless connection, ensure the printer is connected to the correct network.
- Restart your router and reconnect the printer to the network if needed.
Check Printer Settings:
- Ensure the printer is not set to Offline mode. You can usually check this in the printer's settings menu or the HP Smart app.
