Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Let’s troubleshoot your HP printer issue step by step. Here are a few common checks and fixes:
Check Printer Status
- Is the printer turned on?
- Are there any error lights or messages on the printer display?
Check Connections
- If it's a USB printer, is the cable securely connected?
- If it's a wireless printer, is it connected to the correct Wi-Fi network?
Check for Paper and Ink
- Is there paper in the tray?
- Are the ink or toner cartridges full and properly installed?
Set as Default Printer
- On your computer, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
- Right-click your HP printer and select Set as default printer.
Clear Print Queue
- Go to Devices and Printers, right-click your printer, and select See what’s printing.
- Cancel all documents in the queue.
Restart Devices
- Restart your printer and your computer.
Update or Reinstall Drivers
- Visit HP official support site and download the latest drivers for your printer model.
If you let me know your printer model and whether you're using Windows, macOS, or another system, I can give you more specific instructions.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
