Hi @Steve2123,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like you're encountering an issue related to your HP account that is affecting your ability to print. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the problem.
Sign Out and Sign Back In:
- Open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device.
- Sign out of your HP account, then sign back in with your credentials. This can sometimes fix minor account-related issues.
Check Your HP Account:
- Log in to your HP account on the HP website (https://www.hp.com).
- Check if there are any account issues, such as a verification request or billing problem.
Restart the Printer and Devices:
- Turn off your HP printer and unplug it for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.
- Restart your computer or mobile device to refresh the connection.
Check Printer's Connection:
- If your printer is connected to the internet, ensure that the Wi-Fi connection is stable. A connection issue could trigger this error.
Reinstall the HP Smart App:
- If you're using the HP Smart app, uninstall and reinstall it to ensure you have the latest version.
Update Printer Firmware:
- If your printer is connected to the internet, check for firmware updates via the HP Smart app or the printer’s web interface.
Verify Your Subscription:
- If you're using an HP Instant Ink or other subscription service, check your account status to ensure that your subscription is active.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
