Hello,
So suddenly my HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw will not print, we only print wirelessly either hp direct or wifi network.
We tried Windows, iphone, and android, all failed to print.

I connected directly to printer, and it showed the job was successfully sent, but the screen on the printer flashes the printing popup and quickly disappears, also the starting printing sound accompanies the message and quickly disappears as well.

All other functions work well.


I ran the HP Smart diagnostic, but it failed.

I have turned it off, removed the cable, turned off the router, reconnected the printer, nothing helped.
Also, the printer still has ink, around 80% each color


Kindly advise

Hi @EE41,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I see that you are facing an issue with your printer that does not print.

A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.

 

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

 

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and check if the issue is resolved.

 

C) If the issue still persists, uninstall the printer software by following the steps from this link and restart the devices.

 

D)  Install the printer software by clicking on the link again and let me know if that resolves the issue.

 

Note: Enable Bluetooth for an HP Smart app setup: Enable Bluetooth on your computer or mobile device so that HP Smart can detect the printer during the setup.
