@Raegan_Hill, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP printer! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

It sounds like your HP 5100 printer is encountering an error. Try these troubleshooting steps:

 

Check the Display Panel: If your printer has a display, it may show an error message or code.

 

Power Cycle the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes.
  • Plug it back in and turn it on.

Check Paper and Cartridges:

  • Ensure there’s no paper jam.
  • Make sure the paper tray is correctly loaded.
  • Verify the toner cartridge is installed properly.

Check Connections:

  • If using a USB cable, ensure it's securely connected.
  • If using Wi-Fi, restart your router and check the connection.

Reset the Printer:

  • Hold down the Cancel button for a few seconds to clear errors.
  • If that doesn't work, look for a reset option in the printer menu.

Refer to the Beep Pattern:

  • If it beeps in a specific sequence, it might indicate a hardware issue.

If the issue persists, let me know if there's an error code or if the beeping has a specific pattern.  

  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
