I keep getting an error message telling me to turn off printer than turn back on. Nothing fixes

[Lanahant]

I keep getting a printer message telling me to turn off printer, then turn back on. Something wrong with the printer. I do as instructed and it takes me back to the same message. Then says contact HP. Who can help with this. The virtual assistant is of no help.

Hi @Lanahant,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Officejet 6600 E-All-In-One Printer - H711a/H711g. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist better:

• Was there any recent update done to the printer?
• Does it display any alphanumerical error code on the printer display?

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Update the printer firmware 

• Click here to download and install the latest printer firmware from your product
• Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

If the issue persists, then we have to perform a SemiFull reset, the reset instructions are specific for your printer, and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
