@abirhasan-iut, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

Based on your description and the image you provided, your HP Smart Tank 518 Wireless All-in-One Printer is showing:

• A red Resume button light (paper icon)
• A red screen light
• No power button light

These indicators typically point to a hardware or operational error. Here's how you can troubleshoot this step-by-step:

Check for Paper Jam or Out of Paper

• Open the input and output trays.
• Remove any jammed paper carefully.
• Ensure the paper is loaded correctly in the input tray.

Check Ink Levels and Cartridges

• Open the ink tank lid and ensure all ink tanks have sufficient ink.
• Make sure the ink tank caps are properly closed.
• If recently refilled, ensure no air bubbles are trapped in the ink lines.

Reset the Printer

• Disconnect the power cable from the printer and wall outlet.
• Wait 30 seconds.
• Reconnect the power cable directly to a wall outlet (avoid surge protectors).
• Press the Power button to turn on the printer.

Check for Printhead Issues

• Open the front access door and inspect the printhead area.
• Make sure the printhead is properly seated.
• Use the HP Smart App or printer menu to run a printhead cleaning.

Firmware Update (if accessible)

If the printer powers on after reset, check for firmware updates via the HP Smart App or HP Software and Drivers.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
