Pls help. why is my laptop telling me my printer is out of paper, when it is not. 

The paper is the correct size and placed correctly. In fact when printing from another laptop the printer works fine.

The screen on the printer says Copy Document and Get HP Software. No option on the screen for just regular print. Note, there is no document in the feeder. I am at a loss.
