My printer doesn't work. It shows "Printer cannot print-a problem has occurred and you will be unable to print until the issue is resolved. check your hp account for more information." I logged in my hp account, it didn't show what the issue is and I checked everything I can-wifi, cartridges, paper, everything looks fine for me but the printer is still not working.

Hi @Hazel59,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
I understand how frustrating it is when your HP OfficeJet 8015e shows the message: "Printer cannot print – a problem has occurred and you will be unable to print until the issue is resolved. Check your HP account for more information." Even more frustrating when your HP account doesn’t show any issue. Let’s walk through the steps to resolve this.
Step-by-Step Fix for “Printer Cannot Print” Error on macOS 15 (Sequoia)
1. Run HP’s Diagnose & Fix Tool (macOS)
HP has a built-in tool in the HP Smart app that can automatically detect and fix common issues:
- Open the HP Smart app on your Mac
- Click your printer > scroll down to “Diagnose & Fix”
- Click Start and let it complete the scan
👉 Use Diagnose & Fix in the HP app to repair common printing issues (Windows, macOS) | HP® Support
2. Check HP+ or Instant Ink Status
This error can appear if:
- Your HP+ subscription or Instant Ink account has a billing or connectivity issue
- The printer is not connected to the internet, which is required for HP+ printers
To check:
- Visit HP Instant Ink Dashboard
- Ensure your printer shows as online and active
- If needed, reconnect the printer to Wi-Fi via the touchscreen panel
3. Power Cycle the Printer
- Turn off the printer
- Unplug it from the wall for 60 seconds
- Plug it back in and turn it on
This clears any temporary firmware lock or error state.
4. Update Printer Firmware
Outdated firmware can cause communication issues:
- Go to HP OfficeJet 8015e All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
- Download and install the latest firmware for macOS
I hope this helps.
Take care and have an amazing day!
