Try these steps:

2. Check Ink Cartridges:
- Ensure that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
- Open the ink cartridge access door and make sure there are no obstructions or misaligned cartridges.
3. Clear Paper Jams:
- Look for any paper jams inside the printer. Remove the paper tray and any jammed or shredded paper, ensuring that the paper path is clear.
4. Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord from the wall and the printer.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes and reconnect the power cord to the printer and the wall outlet.
- Turn the printer back on and check if the error persists.
5. Check for Firmware Updates:
- Go to the HP Support website to check for any firmware updates available for your printer model.
6. Reinstall Printer Software:
