My printer is saying it is out of paper. I have tried everything, unplugging, resetting and printing status pages which all come back as fine and paper spools with no problems when doing so. It doesn't matter what I am trying to print from, phone or computer, message is the same. I subscribe to smart ink and have had no such problems before. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
(Re)check is whether the printer is aware of the paper size and type you are trying to use.
Reminder
HP Smart Mobile requires the paper size / type be adjusted before the content is open for printing.
Paper Size and Type - Tray and Paper - can be checked using the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Tray and Paper is also available from within HP Smart.

What else?
"Out of paper" is not quite the same as a paper size / type error.
That said, there might be a "matched" set conflict between the paper size you and selecting and the paper type.
Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple Photo Print
HP_Smart_Win_Print_Photo_A4_All_4
What else?
At least some of what you check / adjust -- and where you check / change the setup - depends on the software / application you are using to open, view, configure, and submit the job to the printer. What? Print job settings impact the results.
