Hi @WD007

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

Are you enrolled in the Instant Ink program? 

 

While you respond to that, let's try these steps -

 

1) Turn on the printer, if it is not already on. 
2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
3) With the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the printer & wall. 
3) Wait for 60 seconds.  
4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector. 
5) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

 

To clean the ink cartridges, refer to solution# 3, 4 and 5 from this document

 

Also, try updating the printer's firmware. Refer to this document for steps - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware


Let me know how that goes.

I'll make an arrangement to ship you a replacement. Please send us a private message with your Instant Ink account details or you may also respond to the private message I've sent out and I'll help you out, accordingly. Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.
