Hi @macc71,
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:
Check Power Connection:
- Ensure that the power cord is securely connected to both the printer and the power outlet.
- Try plugging the printer into a different wall outlet to rule out issues with the power source.
Inspect the Power Cord:
- Check the power cord for any visible damage. If the cord is damaged, it might need to be replaced.
Reset the Printer:
- Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer and the wall outlet.
- Wait for about 60 seconds before reconnecting the power cord to ensure a proper reset.
- Turn the printer on by pressing the power button.
Verify Printer Power Button Functionality:
- Ensure that the power button is not jammed or stuck. Gently press it to see if the printer responds.
Check for LED Indicator Lights:
- If any LEDs or display panels show signs of life, that might help in diagnosing the issue further. If all lights remain off, it is likely a power issue.
Environmental Factors:
- Ensure the printer is not located in a very hot or cold environment, which could affect its ability to power on.
I hope this helps.
