Hi @Sangey,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd like to help!

 

You might try to reset the printer by following the below steps

 

Reset the printer

Resetting power to the printer forces the printer to reset stored values in the firmware. A power reset can help when the printer is not accepting communication from the computer.

Make sure the printer is idle, not making any sounds, before continuing.

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 15 seconds.

Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

If the printer does not turn on by itself, press the Power button () to turn it on.

Try printing again.

If the printer prints, you can stop troubleshooting.

Continue troubleshooting if the errors persist.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
