@penguin10, @Alyssa_-1 Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I understand you are not able to print due to this error. Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:
Perform the following steps to resolve the error from the printer control panel.
-
Disconnect the printer from the network.
-
If on wired network: Unplug the Ethernet cable from the back of the printer.
-
If on wireless network: Power off the router.
-
-
Turn off the printer, wait for 30 seconds, and turn on the printer.
If the printer is in ready state, disable the IPv6 feature from the control panel as follows:
-
Go to Setup, then Network Setup, and then Network Services.
- Tap IPv6, and then Off.
-
-
Turn off the printer, wait for 30 seconds.
-
Turn on with the network connection enabled.
-
Try printing.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
