Printer keeps saying that output bin is full when it is empty. There are no paper jams and there's paper in both trays.

Hi @MillieBuckyMom,

 

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:

Clear the Printer Message

  • Sometimes, simply acknowledging the message can resolve it. Open and close the output bin door to reset the sensor.
  • On the printer's control panel, press OK to bypass the error message.

Check the Output Bin Sensor

  • Dust or debris can sometimes block the sensor. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the area around the output bin sensor.
  • Ensure that nothing is mistakenly triggering the sensor, such as small pieces of torn paper.

Reset the Printer

  • Turn off the printer using the power button and disconnect the power cord from both the printer and the wall outlet.
  • Wait approximately 60 seconds, then reconnect the power cord.
  • Turn the printer back on and see if the error persists.

Update Printer Firmware

  • Outdated firmware can cause unusual errors. Ensure that your printer's firmware is up-to-date. You can check for firmware updates through the HP Support website or via the HP Smart app.

Check Printer Settings

  • Verify if any queued print jobs have special settings or configurations that might cause this error.
  • Clear the printer queue on your computer to ensure no jobs stuck in a loop.

Connection Issues

  • Ensure that your printer's connection to the computer or network is stable. Reset the connection if necessary.

I hope this helps.
