Hi @GRAHAMOLIVER,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP ENVY Photo 6234 All-in-One Printer is showing an "IN ERROR STATE," here are some steps to troubleshoot.
Check Printer Status:
- Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network or computer.
- Check for any error messages or lights on the printer.
Restart the Printer:
- Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait about 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.
Check for Paper Jams:
- Open the printer’s paper tray and look inside for any jammed paper or debris.
Check Ink Levels:
- Ensure that there is enough ink in the cartridges and that they are properly installed.
Update Printer Drivers:
- Visit HP’s website and download the latest drivers for your model. Install them on your computer.
Check Network Connection:
- If using a network connection, ensure your printer is connected to the correct network. You might need to reconfigure the network settings from the printer’s control panel.
Run Printer Troubleshooter:
- If you’re using Windows, go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners, select your printer, and click on “Manage” and then “Run the troubleshooter.”
Check Printer Settings:
- Access the printer’s settings through the control panel or HP Smart app to ensure there are no settings causing the issue.
Factory Reset:
- If none of the above steps work, consider performing a factory reset.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
