Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that you are getting E4 error and ink is leaked inside the printer, I am glad to assist you.
Check if you can manually clean the leaked ink in the printer.
Perform a power reset , Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.
- Turn on the printer, 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.
- Wait at least 30 seconds.
- Plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet and printer without any surge protector.
- Turn on the printer.
If the E4 error still displays, follow the steps mentioned in this HP document to fix the issue:- Click here
Keep me posted.
If this helps, please mark the public post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.
Cheers.
