My HP Envy 4500 series printer recently stopped printing.
The printer is operating normally otherwise (examples: turns on, connects to wifi, even scans images to my computer), but when I try to copy or print, the page is blank.
I've followed the troubleshooting steps indicated here (https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-4500-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5304875/model/5304876/...), including:
- Turning the printer off and back on
- Cleaning the print head and ink smear via the "Tools" option on the printers digital screen
- Printing (a) diagnostic, (b) test and (c) alignment pages which all print blank pages
- Printing with black cartridge only
- Replacing both black and color ink cartridges with HP ink
The ink in both cartridges are not dry as I can see moist ink around the ink nozzle.
Please advise,

@Sandytechy20, thank you for the follow-up.
I followed your step by step directions, yet when I get to step 5 I have no options other than "community support" (see picture below):
I am signed in (as you can see in upper right) and the sign in link under "How can we help you" is inactive.
Please advise on how to start a case number given this issue.
