HP Officejet 6700 Premium
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I see several people have/had the same issue with HP Officejet 6700 Premium Printer Failure (There is a problem with the printer or ink system. . .)   I tried the suggestions (unplug the back, unplug the cord, wait 60 seconds. . . clear paper jam . . . check for leaking ink cartridges).   

 

Did anyone ever get their printer to actually work again?

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Let's try connecting the Printer to a different wall outlet directly.

 

Also, try a firmware update: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/ish_1776648-1643972-16

 

Let me know if this helps.

I had already moved the plug-in from the battery back-up to a wall socket.

 

Downloaded the firmware and it says it is up-to-date.

 

Shut down printer, waited several minutes, then brought it back up.

 

Still have printer error.

 

Looks like it is time for a new printer.

I recommend you to contact the HP Support Team regarding this as this could be a hardware issue.
