I had a paper jam which I removed then got an error message saying printer fault and to turn printer off then back on again. In the closing down sequence I have got the message “shutting down” and a rolling grey and white line, but it’s not actually shutting down. I read the other posts but I’m not in a quiet on position to remove and reinsert the power cable so unsure what I can do to fix it

Hi @Jonathan993,
I'd like to help!
Let's try a power reset on the printer
Reset the product
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
