I get an error message "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. turn printer off, then on. If problem persists contact HP". I got on the HP web site but I can't find any way to contact a customer service person.

Hi @CN44IFV1JC
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The error message "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn printer off, then on. If the problem persists, contact HP" usually indicates a hardware or software issue with your HP printer. Here's how to troubleshoot and contact HP support:
Troubleshooting Steps:
Restart the Printer:
- Turn off the printer completely.
- Unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall outlet.
- Wait for a few minutes.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and then into the printer.
- Turn on the printer.
Check Ink Cartridges:
- Open the printer's access door and inspect the ink cartridges.
- Ensure that the cartridges are properly inserted and not damaged.
- If the ink levels are low, replace the cartridges with new ones.
Check Paper Tray:
- Make sure that the paper tray is properly loaded with the correct type of paper.
- Remove any jammed or misaligned paper.
Run Printer Diagnostics:
- Most HP printers have built-in diagnostic tools. Refer to your printer's user manual for instructions on how to run these tests.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
