Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are getting out of paper error on HP Envy 6255 Printer. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,
- Did you do any hardware or software changes after unboxing the printer?
Meanwhile
Clean the paper tray rollers
-
Carefully lift the printer and set it on its side.
-
While supporting the printer with one hand, pull the paper tray open to expose the paper rollers underneath the printer.

-
Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.
-
Press the cloth against the rollers inside the printer, and then rotate the rollers upwards with your fingers. Apply a moderate amount of pressure to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
-
Allow the rollers to dry completely (approximately 10 minutes).
-
Close the paper tray, and then set the printer upright.
Clean the paper feed rollers from inside the ink cartridge access area.
-
Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of injuries or electric shock, disconnect the power cord before reaching inside the printer.
-
Open the ink cartridge access door.

Reset the printer
-
Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
-
Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
-
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
-
Wait at least 60 seconds.
-
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE:
HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
-
Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
-
Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Sandy, after how many PRINT jobs should I have to clean PRINT rollers, etc and/or unplug to reset? Mean time between failures has so far been less than 10 jobs. Not impressive engineering!! Printer also often fails to sleep. Going soon back to Epson.
