@Reef2, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

To assist you better, what model printer are you using?

Refer to this document to know how to find the Product Name or Product Number.

How is the printer connected to the PC?

 

Keep me posted.

The printer is connected through wi-fi and plugged into USB port.

@Glo85, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

What is the issue with the printer?

Try making a standalone copy and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if the printer hardware is working fine.

If the printer is connected via Wi-Fi, you do not have to use the USB cable.

 

Keep me posted.
