I've lost access to the apps on the printer.
Error Message as follows:
Access Denied
The service may be busy.
Retry later.
If the problem continues, check for firmware updates.
I have done a FW update but this has still not fixed it.
Looks like this a recurrent problem, can you help?
Thanks!

We can perform a factory defaults on the printer to resolve the issue
- The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I understand that your receiving "The service may be a busy" error, it seems like a server downtime issue.
Let's try these steps to resolve the issue:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till the warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
