Several times a day my printer becomes unavailable -- without even using it. All lights blink, and the screen says "There is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer Off, then On." I have unplugged it for several minutes and tried plugging it into different outlets. The software is up to date. It seems that many people experience this, but every support thread ends with "I will send you a private message..." So, I guess I need a private message to figure out how to keep this printer up and running, please.

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are getting a printer error and you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps.

I am sending you a private message with the steps to reset the printer. Please check the mailbox icon at the top-right corner of this screen.

 

I hope this helps resolve this issue completely.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
