Hi @Danny5161,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Restart the Printer:
- Turn off your printer and disconnect the power cable.
- Wait at least 60 seconds before reconnecting the power cable and turning the printer back on.
Check for Jammed Paper or Cartridge Issues:
- Open the printer and ensure there are no paper jams or obstructions.
- Check the ink cartridges to ensure they are properly installed and seated correctly in their slots.
Firmware Update:
- Ensure your printer firmware is up to date. Visit the HP Support website to check for any available firmware updates.
Reset the Printer:
- Perform a printer reset by unplugging the printer while it's on and then plugging it back in after a minute. This can clear minor errors that might lead to failure messages.
Driver Update:
- Update or reinstall the printer drivers on your Windows 11 system. Make sure you're using the correct driver specifically for your printer model.
Check Printer Queue:
- Clear any stuck print jobs that might be causing an error. Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers, locate your printer, right-click and select "See what's printing". Cancel any stalled or queued jobs.
Network Connectivity:
- If the printer is networked, ensure it's properly connected to your network and there is no interruption in connectivity.
I hope this helps.
