Hi @Jasmeet3,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The issue you're experiencing with your HP OfficeJet Pro 8035 All-in-One Printer shutting down after showing "Checking the printer. Please wait" is likely caused by a firmware or software update issue. Here’s how you can troubleshoot it.
Perform a Hard Reset
- Disconnect the printer from the power source while it’s on.
- Wait for 60 seconds.
- Plug the printer back into the wall outlet (avoid using a power strip or surge protector).
- Turn the printer back on and see if the issue persists.
Check for Firmware Recovery Options
If the printer updated incorrectly, you may need to perform a firmware recovery:
- Download the HP Firmware Update Utility:
- Go to HP Customer Support.
- Search for your printer model and navigate to the "Software and Drivers" section.
- Download the firmware update tool compatible with your operating system.
- Connect your printer to your computer using a USB cable if it's not detected automatically.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall the firmware.
Reset to Factory Defaults
- Turn off the printer.
- Turn it back on and access the Setup Menu.
- Navigate to Printer Maintenance > Restore Factory Settings (this may vary slightly based on your printer model).
- Confirm the reset.
Reinstall Printer Software
- Uninstall the current printer software from your computer.
- Re-download the latest printer software from the HP website and reinstall it.
Check for Updates via HP Smart App
- Open the HP Smart App on your computer or mobile device.
- Ensure the app is connected to your printer.
- Check for firmware or software updates and apply them.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
