Try these steps:
Ink Cartridge Issue:
- Check Cartridge Status: Open the printer’s ink cartridge access door and ensure cartridges are properly installed and not damaged.
- Replace Ink Cartridges: If the cartridge is empty, try replacing it with a new one. Use genuine HP cartridges for optimal performance.
Paper Jam:
- Check for Jams: Open the paper tray and inspect for any paper jams. Carefully remove any stuck paper without tearing it.
- Load Paper Correctly: Make sure the paper is loaded properly and within the supported paper size and type for the printer.
Cartridge Door/Open Hatch:
- Check All Doors: Make sure that all printer doors and access points are securely closed.
Printer Reset:
- Perform a Reset: Turn off the printer, unplug it from power, wait a minute, then plug it back in and turn it on.
Error Codes or Messages:
- Check Display Panel: If the printer has a display panel, note any specific error codes or messages and follow on-screen instructions.
