@Joan104, 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
Error 45 on your HP DeskJet 2734e All-in-One Printer might indicate a connectivity or hardware issue. Here's what you can do to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:
Check Power and Connections:
- Ensure that the printer is properly plugged into a power source and that it is turned on.
- Check that all cable connections (USB, Ethernet, or power cables) are secure.
Restart the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about 60 seconds and then plug it back in.
- Turn the printer on and see if the error persists.
Software Update:
- Ensure that the printer's firmware is up to date. You can check for updates through the HP Smart App or the HP Support website.
Check Print Queue:
- Clear any pending documents in the print queue that might be causing a backlog.
Examine for Paper Jams:
- Open the printer’s paper tray and check for any paper jams. Gently remove any stuck paper and ensure the paper feed is not blocked.
Ink Cartridges:
- Check the ink cartridges to ensure they are properly installed and have sufficient ink.
- Reinstall the cartridges if necessary.
Run HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows only):
- Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool. Follow the prompts to diagnose and fix common printing issues.
Update Printer Firmware (Update the firmware on an HP printer | HP® Support)
- Go to the HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads page. Enter your printer model number and search for the latest firmware update. Follow the instructions to download and install the firmware update.
