Hi @dearmurali78,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I'd like to help!
i understand that you are getting an error "check printer" when you try to print.
To asssit better:-
- Does the copy print out the same way?
- Do you see any error on the printer display which show E1,E2,E3,E4?
While you respond to that you may try the below steps to resolve the issue:
Perform a power reset on the printer.
- Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP Recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet - Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
