The printer won't copy

Hi @Lezah3,

Welcome to HP Support Community.
 

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

"I understand you're having trouble with your printer not being able to copy. Please try some basic troubleshooting steps first. If the issue persists, share the printer's serial number along with the exact issue or error message so I can assist you better."

If your HP printer isn't able to copy, the most likely causes are: low ink levels, paper jams, incorrect printer settings, a faulty connection, clogged printheads, or a problem with the scanner unit;

Basic troubleshooting steps:

1. Check ink levels:

Make sure all ink cartridges have sufficient ink. 
 

2. Check paper feed:

Verify that paper is loaded correctly in the paper tray and that there are no paper jams. 
 

3. Check printer settings:

Ensure the copy settings are correct on the printer control panel (color/black and white, number of copies). 
 

4. Clean the printheads:

If you suspect clogged printheads, use the printer's cleaning function or follow instructions to manually clean them. 
 

5. Check connections:

Ensure the power cord is plugged in securely and that the USB cable (if used) is properly connected to both the printer and computer. 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
