Whenver I switch my printer on it is stuck on the loading screen with the hp logo and the loading bar moving from left to right. It makes a tiny click sound which means its getting the cartridges in place but doesn't manage to do that and stops and remains stuck on the loading screen. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried pulling the plug out multiple times.
