Hi @mikeb2907,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

To wake up or activate a printer that is in sleep or idle mode, follow these general steps:
 

Press a Button on the Printer: Most printers have a physical button you can press to wake them up. This button might be the power button or a dedicated "wake up" button, depending on the model.

Send a Print Job: Sometimes sending a print job to the printer from your computer or mobile device can wake it up from sleep mode.

Ensure Power Connectivity: Check that the printer is plugged in and turned on. Ensuring steady power connectivity can sometimes help in waking up the printer from an idle state.


I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
