Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that your printer does not shut down. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
Perform a power reset
- Turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait at least 30 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer
Let me know if that works.
Cheers.

I started to print a Word docment, printed 2 pages and than it stopped printing. Said there was a paper jam, I checked and no paper jam. It started to print again and than stopped, same error paper jam, but no jam. I shut it down and restarted, but received the same error. So I unplugged the printer (probably shouldn't have) and now is says it's shutting down, but hasn't for 30 minutes. It's just says shutting down and doing nothing!
