Use HP Print and Scan Doctor: Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, a free tool that can help diagnose and fix printer issues.

Reinstall Printer Drivers: Uninstall the current printer drivers from your computer and then reinstall them. Make sure to download the latest drivers from the HP support website.

Set Printer as Default: Go to your computer's printer settings and set the HP OfficeJet 4650 as the default printer.

Clear Print Queue: Clear any pending print jobs in the print queue as they might cause conflicts.

Check for Error Messages: Inspect the printer's control panel for any error messages or blinking lights and resolve them accordingly.  

Hope this helps!
