@Bundega, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP Smart Tank 615 is showing a blue screen on the control panel while still printing, but not allowing access to functions like copy or scan, it may be due to a scanner or firmware-related error. Here's how you can troubleshoot and resolve it:
Power Cycle the Printer
- Turn off the printer using the Power button.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and printer.
- Wait for 60 seconds.
- Plug it back in and turn the printer on.
- Check if the screen returns to normal.
Check for Scanner Errors
If the screen remains blue and copy/scan icons are still inaccessible:
- This could be an E5 error, indicating a scanner malfunction.
- Try pressing the Cancel button and attempt a scan again.
- If it fails, power off and restart the printer.
Update Printer Firmware
A firmware glitch may cause display issues. To update:
- Visit the HP Smart Tank 615 support page.
- Scroll to Software and Drivers section.
- Download and install the latest firmware update for your printer.
You may need to temporarily connect the printer via USB to perform the update.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
