Hi @Rwilson79,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Power Cycle the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about a minute.
- Plug the printer back in and turn it on.
Check for Error Messages:
- Ensure there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer.
- Open the paper tray and check for any paper jams or misalignment of paper.
Clear the Print Queue:
- Cancel all print jobs from your device's print queue to clear any blockages.
- On Windows, go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners, select your printer, and cancel all documents.
Check for Cartridge Issues:
- Open the cartridge access door and ensure the cartridges are seated properly.
- If the cartridges are low on ink or not installed correctly, it might cause the printer to halt operations.
Use HP Print and Scan Doctor (For Windows Users):
- Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor utility from the HP Support website.
- Follow the instructions to diagnose and fix any issues found.
Reset the Printer:
- Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds.
- Release the button and check if the issue persists.
Firmware Update:
- Check for a firmware update through the HP Smart app or the HP website, as updating firmware can solve existing bugs.
I hope this helps.
