@cericson, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Reset the printer
Resetting the printer can clear the error.
-
Turn the printer on, 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.
-
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 rear of the printer.
-
Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
-
Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
If the issue persists, the only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.
I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Forums profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link
Let me know the outcome.
Cheers 🙂

To provide you with an accurate solution, I would like to know the following:
- Are you able to make copies on the printer?
- Are you printing from a mobile device or computer?
- If a computer, what is the Operating System installed on it?
- Is it an issue with a particular application or all applications?
Keep me posted for further assistance.
Cheers 🙂
