@Stephen_123-Ps, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP 2823e! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

It looks like your HP DeskJet 2823e printer is experiencing an issue where the orange light is on, and it won’t print despite showing "Ready" on Wi-Fi. Here are some troubleshooting steps to fix this:

 

1. Check the Ink Cartridges

  • Open the ink cartridge access door.
  • Make sure the ink cartridges are properly installed.
  • Remove and reinsert the cartridges to ensure a proper connection.
  • If you replaced the cartridges, make sure they are genuine HP cartridges.
  • If one of the cartridges is empty or faulty, replace it.

2. Check the Orange Light Indicator

  • A solid orange light usually means a cartridge issue.
  • If the E (Error) code is displayed, there might be a low or missing ink cartridge.
  • If it's blinking, it could indicate a paper jam or other hardware issues.

3. Restart the Printer

  • Turn OFF the printer.
  • Unplug it from the power source for 2-3 minutes.
  • Plug it back in and turn it ON.

4. Set Printer Online

  • On your computer, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click your HP DeskJet 2823e printer and select See what’s printing.
  • Click Printer at the top and Uncheck ‘Use Printer Offline’ if it’s selected.
  • Try printing again.

5. Restart Wi-Fi and Reconnect

  • Restart your Wi-Fi router.
  • Make sure the printer is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.
  • Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool from HP’s website to detect connection issues.

6. Update Printer Drivers

  • Visit the HP Support website and download the latest drivers for your printer.
  • Install them and restart your computer.  

Let me know if this helps!

  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
