Hi @David7896,

 

I'd like to help!

 

Let's try a power reset on the printer

 

Reset the product

 

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.

Reconnect the power cord to the printer.

Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

 

 Also, try updating the printer's firmware -HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware  

 

If the issue persists, I'd suggest you Contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your printer

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

I have did a power reset. No software to download. The printer is only a few months old. What are my options? there is no reason I should have issues only 3 months into this product. Thanks! jrhoades@vascularaccessplus.com

Your very funny because this keeps taking me in circles for customer support for HP and no one responds. It just sends me back to this thread. Virtual agents don't help. I have also tried calling customer support. Nothing helps. HP should replace these printers for free. I can't even find a way to get it repaired if there is a repair option.
