I have an ENVY PHoto 7830.
HP Instant Ink tells me it can't communicate with my printer as it is Offline. HP Smart says "Out of paper in photo tray".
The printer is working. I can print normal document using the paper tray. I have never printed photos or used the photo tray.
I'm about to run out of ink.
Anyone had the same issue?
Thanks,
K
