Hi @Ballerinagirl1 

 

Welcome to the HP support community.
 

I understand you're experiencing an issue with your HP printer, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I'm here to help you today.

 

Please let me know if its laserjet, deskjet or officejet printer ? 

 

In the emantime try these steps:

 

  • Ensure cartridges are properly installed.
  • Perform a hard reset of the printer.
  • Clean the cartridge contacts and printhead.
  • Run a diagnostic test or print a test page.
  • Check for firmware updates.
  • Replace the cartridges if necessary.
  • Check for paper jams.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
