Yesterday I started getting the following error ever time I print:
Print failure.
If error repeats turn off and then on.
Press[OK] to continue
I have...
powered it off and on
reset the printer
left off over night
updated firmware
opened compartments, uninstalled/reinstalled ink
hunt and pecked through the HP app
searched these boards for more tips
and wasted hours trying things over and over...and the error keeps coming up every time I try to print.
Please help
Edit update:
Also worth noting, this happens when I try to print from multiple sources (my computer or phone)
It happens when I try to print any printer diagnostic reports, when trying to do a cleaning cycle, and when trying to copy
Sometimes it prints a portion of the first page and then feeds through blank pages, other times all pages are blank.

Hi @masb050,
I'd like to help!
As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest you contact HP support in your region regarding the service options for your printer
Follow the instructions below to reach them:
1) Click on this link - https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp
2) Select your product type below.
3) Enter the serial of your device.
4) Select the country from the drop-down.
5) Select the chat or get phone number options based on your preferences.
6)Fill the web-form and proceed further.
If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.
Have a great day!
