@cthsemaint, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

If your HP DeskJet 2855e stops mid-print without showing any error messages or lights, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Check Power and Connectivity:

  • Ensure the printer is powered on. Check if the power button light is lit.
  • Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the printer and the wall outlet.
  • If the printer is connected via USB or Wi-Fi, confirm that the connection is stable.

Restart the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer using the power button.
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Wait for 60 seconds, then plug the power cord back in and turn the printer on.

Check for Paper Jams:

  • Open the cartridge access door and inspect for any paper jams inside the printer.
  • Ensure there is no obstruction in the cartridge carriage.

Check Ink Cartridges:

  • Make sure the ink cartridges are properly installed.
  • Remove and reinsert the ink cartridges to ensure they are securely placed.

Clean Printer Heads:

  • Use the printer’s software to initiate a cleaning cycle for the printer heads.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions for cleaning.

Update Printer Firmware:

  • Ensure your printer has the latest firmware installed. Visit the HP support website for firmware updates.

Check Print Drivers:

  • Make sure your printing device has the correct and updated drivers installed. You can download the latest drivers from the HP support website.

Perform Printer Maintenance:

  • Access the HP Smart app or printer software to run diagnostics and maintenance routines.

I hope this helps.
